(a) Any person who has applied for and received an absent voter's ballot but has not voted and returned the same to the Clerk may vote in person at the polls on election day provided he returns such absent voter's ballot to the election commissioners at the polling place. In such case the absent voter's ballot shall be destroyed by the election commissioners in the presence of the voter, and one of the poll clerks shall make a notation of such fact as directed by instructions issued by the Secretary of State. In the event such person does not return the absent voter's ballot, he shall have his vote challenged by one or more of the election commissioners or poll clerks.
(b) Any person who has voted an absent voter's ballot under authority of Section 106.01(c) who is present in the county in which he is registered to vote between the opening and closing of the polls on election day, and any person who has voted an absent voter's ballot under authority of Section 106.01(a) who is or becomes able to vote in person at the polls on election day, shall go to the polling place in the precinct of his residence on election day and vote in person and ask that the absent voter's ballot voted by him be destroyed in his presence. In such case one of the poll clerks shall make a notation of such fact as directed by instructions issued by the Secretary of State.
(c) In the event a person who has voted an absent voter's ballot votes in person at the polls on election day and fails to notify the election commissioners and poll clerks that he had previously voted an absent voter's ballot in such election and the election commissioners and poll clerks fail to discover such fact at the time of voting in person, they shall, following the closing of the polls, challenge the absent voter's ballot of such person.
(d) The absent voter's ballot of any such person described in subsection (b) hereof who fails to go to the polling place in the precinct of his residence on election day and vote in person shall be subject to challenge by any one or more of the election commissioners or poll clerks or by any registered voter in the County who has personal knowledge that such person was either in the County between the opening and closing of the polls on election day or was able to vote in person at the polls on election day, as the case may be: provided, that any such challenge by a registered voter shall be made by affidavit, the form of which shall be prescribed by the Secretary of State.
