(a) Each board of elections shall cause all rooms used as polling places to be suitably provided with light and with a sufficient number of voting compartments or booths with proper supplies, in which electors may conveniently mark their ballots, with a curtain, screen or door in the upper part of the front of each compartment or booth so that in the marking thereof they may be screened from the observation of others. Each polling place shall consist of a single room, every part of which is within the unobstructed view of those present therein, and shall have a guard rail or barrier enclosing the inner portion of such room, which guard rail or barrier shall be constructed and placed at the express direction of the chairman of the board of elections in the election district so that only such persons as are inside the rail or barrier can approach within six feet of the ballot box and voting compartments or booths. The ballot box and voting compartments or booths shall be so arranged in the voting room within the enclosed space as to be in full view of those persons in the room outside such guard rail or barrier.
(b) [Deleted.]
(c) The board may make such arrangements as it deems proper for the storage of election equipment in the various polling districts of its legislative district at such times of the year when it will not be used for election purposes, and may fix reasonable compensation therefor.
