(A) Before being allowed to vote, each voter shall exhibit to an election official one form of identification, including but not limited to an official voter registration card, driver's license, or passport. An election official may waive the identification if the election official knows the identity of the voter. A voter who cannot exhibit a satisfactory form of identification shall be allowed to vote a questioned ballot.
(B) A voter shall be given one ballot and shall retire alone to a voting booth. There the voter, without undue delay, shall prepare the ballot by marking the appropriate ovals opposite the names of candidates of choice, whether printed on the ballot or written on the “write-in” lines provided for the purpose, and the appropriate ovals for questions and propositions. The voter shall insert the voted ballot into a secrecy sleeve and return to the election judges or clerks, who may assist the voter with inserting the ballot into the optical scan voting unit.
(C) A voter who by accident or mistake mutilates or spoils a ballot shall, upon returning the same to the election judges and clerks, be given another.
(D) Qualified voters who cannot read, mark the ballot, or sign their name may request an election official or not more than two persons of their choice to assist the voter. If the election official is requested, the official shall assist the voter. If any other person is requested, the person shall state upon oath before the election official that the person will not divulge the vote cast by the person assisted.
