Every election judge and election clerk shall challenge, and every watcher and other person qualified to vote in the precinct may challenge, a person attempting to vote if the challenger has good reason to suspect that the challenged person is not qualified to vote. All challenges shall be made in writing setting out the reason for the challenge. A challenged person before voting shall subscribe to an oath and affidavit provided by the City Clerk attesting to the fact that in each particular the person meets all the qualifications of a voter, that the voter is not disqualified, and that the voter has not voted at the same election. The voter shall also state the place from which the voter came immediately before living in the city and the length of time of residence in the former place. After the challenged person has taken the oath and signed the affidavit, the person may vote. If the challenged person refuses to take an oath or sign the affidavit, the person may not vote.
