| The legal voters of each city, town and plantation shall |
| vote by ballot on this question and designate their choice by |
| a cross or check mark placed within the corresponding square |
| below the word "Yes" or "No." The ballots must be received, |
| sorted, counted and declared in open ward, town and plantation |
| meetings and returns made to the Secretary of State in the |
| same manner as votes for members of the Legislature. The |
| Governor shall review the returns and, if it appears that a |
| majority of the legal votes are cast in favor of the |
| amendment, the Governor shall proclaim that fact without delay |
| and the amendment becomes part of the Constitution on the date |
| of the proclamation; and be it further |
