297. Except that no elector shall be obliged to state for whom he voted at any election, no person shall be excused from answering any question put to him in any prosecution or in any civil action or proceeding, in any court, or before any judge, touching or concerning any election, or the conduct of any person thereat, or in relation thereto.
