The names on each page of the main roll and of every supplementary roll printed for any district shall be numbered consecutively, beginning with the number one in the case of the first name on each page.

The pages of every main roll or supplementary roll printed for any district shall be numbered consecutively, beginning with the number one in the case of the first page of the main roll and, in the case of a supplementary roll, with the number immediately following the number of the last page of the last printed roll of the district, whether main or supplementary.
