(A) Voting precincts. There shall be five voting precincts established in the city for the purpose of city elections as defined in the Elkins City Charter.
(B) Polling places. The Chief Election Officer, before each election, shall secure, for each voting precinct in the city, a suitable room or building in which to hold the election and shall cause the same to be suitably provided with heat, light and a sufficient number of booths or compartments, and furnished with proper supplies for preparing ballots, or at/in which voters may conveniently prepare their ballots, so that in the preparation thereof they may be secure from the observation of others. Such room or building shall be located in such precinct; provided, however, that upon a determination of the Chief Election Officer that a suitable room or building in which to hold the election is not reasonably available in such precinct then the Chief Election Officer may secure a suitable room or building in which to hold the election for such precinct in an adjacent precinct in the city.
