In selecting and commissioning said special election

commissioners, the Governor shall assign each said commissioner to a

particular voting precinct, or voting place in said territory,

proposing to hold such special election; and for the purpose of said

special election, the said commissioner so selected, shall perform

the duties of an inspector of election in such precinct or voting

place so assigned, as provided by the general election laws, when

not in conflict with the provisions of this act. It shall be the

duty of each such special election commissioner to present himself

to the county election board, at the office of the clerk of the

county wherein said special election is to be held, not later than

ten o'clock a. m. of the second day next preceding the date set for

the holding of such special election, where he shall receive from

said board and receipt therefor, the ballots, ballot boxes, poll

books, tally sheets, stamps, pen, ink, pencils, and other material

necessary for properly holding such election, and shall safely

convey such material, so received, to the precinct, or voting place

assigned, so that the polls may be duly and promptly opened on the

date set for the holding of said special election. In the event the

special election commissioner of any precinct shall fail to present

himself to the county election board for such election supplies and

to receive the same at the time in this act specified, then it shall

be the duty of the county election board to designate and appoint in

writing, some qualified elector of the county, to perform all of the

duties of said special election commissioner of such precinct at

said election.
