shall provide for all polling places using voting machines at least three sample ballot
labels which shall be arranged in the form of a diagram showing the entire front of the
voting machine as it will appear after the official ballot labels are arranged for voting
on election day or that portion thereof which will contain the offices, party designations,
names of candidates, write-in slots and questions to be voted upon. On each such sample
ballot label shall be printed instructions as to the use of the voting machine, which

be so posted as to be visible to an elector being instructed on the demonstrator or spare
voting machine under section 9-260.
