The Commissioners holding the election at the place of voting shall permit all persons to vote entitled to do so and reject the votes of all persons not entitled to vote at said election, and shall, in all respects, have the poll taken fairly according to law. They shall swear and examine any person (or the person examined may affirm) regarding his or her right to vote at said election whenever such right to vote is questioned by any person. If the vote of any person offering to vote be rejected, his or her name, if required by him or her or by any candidate at said election, shall be entered on a separate list to be kept for that purpose; and if any person be permitted to vote whose vote is challenged, the word “challenged” shall be written on the poll book opposite his or her name.
