Voting the Ballot
- When the ballot of any voter is challenged by a poll watcher,

is being challenged by a poll watcher

challenging the ballot must display a valid affidavit in the
form of a “Poll Watcher Authorization Form”
- the poll watcher
must complete a “Challenged Ballot Form”
- the voter must vote
on a paper ballot initialed by the election official
- the
voter must place the provisional ballot in a single envelope
marked “Provisional Ballot” and seal the envelope, and
- the
voter must place the sealed “Provisional Ballot” envelope, and
the “Challenged Ballot Form” in an envelope marked “Provisional
Voter” the election official must maintain a separate list of
names of provisional voters
- All provisional ballots must be
preserved, secured, and separated from the remaining ballots to
the end that the right of any person to vote may be determined
later by the county board of election commissioners or the court
in which an election contest may thereafter be filed.
- The
county board of election commissioners must, prior to
certification of the results of the election, determine whether
the provisional ballots are valid. If, upon examination of any
provisional ballots, the county board of election commissioners
suspects that a violation of election laws has occurred, the
board may refer the matter to the prosecuting attorney.
