Each of the magistrates and jurors is given, for this purpose, an open ballot paper, marked with the stamp of the Assize Court and bearing these words: “On my honour and in my conscience, my declaration is …”.
He writes in succession or has written secretly the word “yes” or the word “no” on a table arranged in such a way that no one can see the vote written on the ballot paper. He hands the written and closed ballot paper to the chairman, who places it in a ballot box intended for this purpose.
