85. (1)  When a poll is necessary, the presiding officer shall establish one or more polling stations, having regard to the number of electors enrolled on the electoral list or to the size of the territory of the municipality.
If need be, he shall appoint a returning officer for each polling station in addition to that in which he intends to carry out the functions attributed to him under sections 86 to 95. Each returning officer carries out in the polling station for which he is appointed the functions of the presiding officer under such sections.
(2)  The presiding officer may also, if he deems it appropriate, appoint for each polling station a polling clerk who shall assist the presiding officer or the returning officer, as the case may be, in discharging his duties.
(3)  The presiding officer shall give without delay a public notice indicating:
(1)  the place where any polling station is established when an advance poll or a poll is held;
(2)  if there is more than one polling station, the apportionment of the electors that shall vote in each of them, based on a territorial division or an alphabetical or other division of the electors;
(3)  the appointment of any polling clerk or returning officer, if need be.
(4)  The presiding officer shall obtain or cause to be prepared all documents and accessories necessary for a secret ballot to be held, including ballot papers and ballot boxes, and shall furnish a sufficient quantity thereof to each returning officer, if need be.
The ballot paper shall be a paper on which the names of the candidates, together with their syllabic transcription, are alphabetically arranged and printed.
