Tally sheets. The tally sheet blanks shall be as nearly as possible in the following form: At the extreme left of such sheet there shall be a column headed "List of offices," in which shall be printed the titles of all the offices printed upon the official ballot, and in the same order. Each office shall be separated by a heavy ruled line running the full width of such sheet. There shall be printed thereon, in separate columns under the name of the respective parties the tickets of all the parties as they appear on the official ballot, so that the names of all candidates for the same office shall be upon the same line. Opposite and to the right of each party or independent ticket or list of candidates; shall be a column headed "Number of votes cast, and counted for each candidate on straight ballots," in which column and opposite every name, shall be entered the number of straight party votes counted (which number is the same for every candidate of that party). To the right of such column there shall be another column headed, "Number of votes cast and counted for each candidate on split ballots," and in such column shall be entered by single marks, grouped into five marks, the votes canvassed for such candidates on the split ballots. To the right of such column shall be another column headed, "Total number of votes cast and counted for each candidate," in which shall be entered, opposite the name of each candidate, the total number of votes cast and counted for such candidate on both straight and split ballots. Το the right of the last column for entering the total vote cast for candidates of any party, shall be a column headed, "Total number of ballots, not wholly blank, on which no vote was counted for the following offices," and in such column shall be entered opposite the titles of the respective offices, by single marks, the number of ballots on which no vote was cast for any candidate for such office. To the right of such column shall be another column. headed, "Total number of wholly blank ballots," in which column shall be entered opposite the title of each office the number of ballots found to be wholly blank. To the right of such column. shall be another column headed, "Total number of void ballots," in which column shall be entered opposite each title of each office the number of ballots which were rejected as void. At the extreme right of such sheet there shall be a column headed, "Total number of ballots accounted for," in which shall be entered op

posite each office the sum of the total vote cast for all candidates for the office, together with the number of ballots not wholly blank, on which no vote was counted for that office, the total number of wholly blank, and the total number of void ballots, and the votes cast, if any, for candidates for such office whose names are not printed upon the ballot. Such sum must equal the number of ballots voted, as shown by the ballot clerks' return of ballots, and if it does not, there has been a mistake in the count, and the ballots must be recounted for such office. In case a person is voted for whose name is not printed on the ballot, the poll clerks, who shall keep the tally sheets, shall enter such name and the votes therefor on the tally sheet. The method of counting the votes shall be as provided in section one hundred and ten of the election law.
