Such election officials shall place each vote recorder in a voting booth so that the ballot labels on the recorder can be plainly seen by the poll officers when not being voted on.

(c) The poll manager shall furnish for each vote recorder at least one hour before the opening of the polls:
(1) Sufficient light to enable electors, while in the voting booth, to read the ballot labels and suitable for the use of poll officers in examining the vote recorder.
(2) Two sample ballots printed on a single sheet of white paper or a number of sheets stapled together which shall be a reasonable facsimile of the ballot labels to be used in the primary or election, and accompanied by directions for voting on the vote recorder; and such sample ballots shall be posted prominently outside the enclosed space within the polling place.
(3) A seal for sealing the vote recorder after the polls are closed and such other materials and supplies as may be necessary or as may be required by law or by rules and regulations of the State Election Commission.
