19:15-25.  Ballot given to voter;  instructions
    In all municipalities after the district board shall have ascertained that a  voter is properly registered and qualified to vote the inspector of election  shall furnish to the voter one official ballot numbered to correspond with the  poll number of the voter, allowing for spoiled ballots, if any.

    No ballot shall be handed to a voter until there is a booth ready for occupancy.  The members of the district board shall not allow a voter to mark his ballot outside of an election booth unless the voter is unable to enter the  booth by reason of his physical disability.

    The inspector shall instruct the voter how to fold the ballot and shall crease the ballot so as to indicate the point where the voter shall fold the ballot, but before handing the ballot to the voter the inspector shall see that  the face of the ballot including the coupon is exposed, and at the same time  shall call off the ballot number to the member having charge of the polling  book, who shall make certain that the ballot number and poll number agree,  allowing for spoiled ballots, if any.

    If the number of the ballot does not follow consecutively the missing number  or numbers shall be written on a blank sheet of paper signed by the members of  the district board and placed on the string with the coupons in its or their  proper place or places.
