(a) During the thirty days next preceding an election at which any electronic voting system is to be used, the county board of elections shall place on public exhibition, in such public places and in such quantity and at such times as it shall deem most suitable for the instruction and information of the voters of the county, those components of the electronic voting system which are used by the voter, containing a sample ballot designed for instructional use. Such components shall be under the charge and care of a person competent as custodian and instructor. No voting system component which is assigned for use in an election shall be used for such public exhibition and instruction after having been prepared and sealed for the election.

(b) At the polling place on the day of the election, each voter who desires shall be instructed, by means of appropriate diagrams and a model, in the operation of the voting device before he enters the voting booth. If any voter shall ask for further instructions concerning the manner of voting after entering the voting booth, any election officer may give him audible instructions without entering such booth, but no such election officer shall when giving such instructions in any manner request, suggest or seek to persuade or induce any such voter to vote any particular ticket or for any particular candidate or other person or for or against any particular question.
