168.783 Voting machines; challenged voter, procedure.

Sec. 783.

When the right of any person offering to vote is challenged and his answers under oath shall show him to possess the qualifications to vote at that precinct, he must be allowed to cast his vote either upon the regular keyboard of the machine, or upon the machine in the space provided for voting an “irregular ballot”, or upon a ballot such as provided for absent voters, in the discretion of the precinct inspectors. The poll list shall be marked and the paper ballot, if used, shall be identified in the manner provided where voting machines are not used and such ballots shall be counted, recorded and preserved in the same manner as prescribed elsewhere in this chapter for the handling of absent voters' ballots. If the vote be cast upon the machine in the space provided for voting an “irregular ballot”, the poll list number shall be written in the space on the machine next preceding the ballot cast and the number concealed and the ballot preserved as near as possible in the manner as prescribed in case the voter is permitted to use the paper ballot.
