Sec. 26. (a) This section applies only to paper ballots.
(b) After marking a paper ballot, a voter shall fold each ballot separately in a manner that its face will be concealed and the initials of the poll clerks or assistant poll clerks seen.
(c) After leaving the booth, a voter shall return the pencil to a poll clerk or assistant poll clerk and display the initials on each ballot to the inspector.

(e) After properly displaying the initials on the ballot, the voter then shall:
(1) deposit the ballot in the ballot box; or
(2) at the voter's option return the ballot to the inspector, who shall deposit it in the ballot box.
(f) The poll clerk or assistant poll clerk shall then place a voting mark opposite the voter's name on the poll list. The voter then shall leave the polls.
