• After the signatures of the proposer and seconder, the nature and particulars of the qualification under which they claim to vote must be stated.

II. If more than the requisite number of candidates are nominated, a poll shall take place on Friday the 1st August, from 10 a.m. till 4 p.m., and after the latter hour no further vote shall be allowed to be recorded; and the candidates in whose favor the greatest number of votes shall have been recorded at the said hour of 4 p.m., or in the event of their not being more than the requisite number, then the candidates nominated shall, as soon thereafter as may be, be declared by the Warden, or other officer, to have been duly elected for the ensuing six months.
