§ 5:8-43.

The question of the adoption of the provisions of this act, in the form set forth

in section 22 of this act 1 , shall be submitted to the legal voters of every municipality in this State at a

special election to be held therein at the same time as the primary election for the

general election which will be held on the third Tuesday in April in the year 1954

in such manner that every voter qualified to vote at such special election upon said

question may vote at said special election for or against such question separately

and whether or not he is qualified to vote, or desires to vote, for any candidate

on any party ballot to be voted at said primary election. In every election district in which paper ballots are used the clerk of the municipality

shall provide a sufficient number of special ballots to be voted separately upon said

question at said special election by the voters who are qualified to vote upon said

question whether or not they are qualified to vote, or desire to vote, for any candidate

on any party ballot to be used at said primary election. The special ballots shall be in such form as shall be determined by the clerk of the

county in which the municipality is situated and shall so far as practicable correspond

in form and detail to the provisions of Title 19, Elections, of the Revised Statutes

but they shall not contain the names of any candidates to be voted upon at any such

election. The special ballots when voted shall be deposited by the election officers in either

of the ballot boxes used at such election. In election districts in which voting machines are used the officers charged with

the duty of preparing and placing the ballots upon the machines shall cause the question

to be so placed upon every machine used in such primary election that any voter qualified

to vote upon said question may vote thereon separately in such special election whether

or not he desires or is qualified to vote a party ballot at said primary election,

and special voting authorities shall be provided for use in cases where they are required

or are used in such form as shall be determined by the county board of elections of

the county in which the respective municipalities are situate and which shall be furnished

and paid for in the same manner as are other voting authorities used at said election. All of the ballots cast at said election on said question in each municipality shall

be counted and the result thereof shall be returned and canvassed in the manner provided

by law in the case of public questions submitted in the several municipalities of

this State. 1
