If the proxy or authority is valid, the voter shall sign his or her own name followed by the word "proxy" or "authority" in the roster opposite the name of the person giving the proxy or the authority. (c) A voter list of all persons eligible to vote shall be kept by a member of the precinct board.

The booth shall be provided with a rubber cross stamp and ink pad. The ballot shall be marked only with the rubber stamp by the voter. (i) After voting the voter shall refold the ballot and deliver it to a member of the precinct board who shall examine only that portion of the ballot that is exposed above the fold line and check that the number of votes marked on the ballot corresponds with the number of votes on the ballot slip of that ballot. Any error in the number of votes shall be corrected by that member in ink or indelible pencil and initialed by two members of the precinct board. The remaining portion of the ballot above the perforated line, shall be removed and delivered to the voter. The folded ballot shall be placed into the ballot box. The ballot box shall be kept locked while the polls are open.
