19:60-11  Use of poll list in lieu of signature copy register.
11. The district board of election shall, for any school election, utilize a poll list instead of the signature copy register.  The poll list shall be arranged in a column or columns appropriately headed so as to indicate the election, the date thereof, and the school district and election district in which the same is used, in such a manner that each voter voting in the polling place at the election may sign the voter's name and state the voter's address therein and the number of the voter's official ballot may be indicated opposite the signature.  The district board shall compare the signature in the poll lists with that in the signature copy registers before accepting the ballot.

If one polling place is designated for two or more election districts pursuant to subsection b. of section 3 of P.L.1995, c.278 (C.19:60-3), the provisions of this section shall apply to the members of the district boards of election designated to serve as the election officers at the polling place for those election districts.  The signature copy registers for those election districts shall be provided to those election officers.
