     3    §  7-118.  Ballots; facsimile and sample. The board of elections shall
     4  provide facsimile and sample ballots which shall be arranged in the form
     5  of a diagram showing such part of the face  of  the  voting  machine  as
     6  shall  be  in  use at that election.   Such facsimile and sample ballots
     7  shall be either in full or  reduced  size  and  shall  contain  suitable
     8  illustrated  directions for voting on the voting machine. Such facsimile
     9  ballots shall be mounted and displayed for  public  inspection  at  each
    10  polling  place  during election day. Sample ballots may be mailed by the
    11  board of elections to each eligible voter at least three days before the
