same to be suitably provided with heat, drinking water and light

and a sufficient number of booths or compartments, each containing

a table, counter or shelf, and furnished with proper supplies for

preparing ballots, at or in which voters may conveniently prepare

or compartments shall not be less than two. Such room or building

shall be located in such precinct: Provided, That upon a

determination of the county commission that a suitable room or

an adjacent precinct in said county, in a location as near as may

be to the territory of the precinct for which such room or building

is provided. At any polling place for which parking spaces are
