3-11-8-26.1. Procedure for Voter Who Cannot Sign Name and Address or Who Has Disability Related Difficulty

Sec. 26.1. (a) If a voter:
(1) cannot sign; or
(2) is a voter with a disability that makes it difficult for the voter to sign;
the voter's name and address, the poll clerks shall, by proper interrogation, satisfy themselves that the voter is the person the voter represents the voter to be.
(b) If satisfied as to the voter's identity under subsection (a), one (1) of the poll clerks shall then place the following on the poll list or enter the information into the electronic poll book:
(1) The voter's name.
(2) Except as provided in subsection (e), the voter's current residence address.
(c) The poll clerks shall:
(1) ask the voter to provide or update the voter's voter identification number;
(2) tell the voter the number the voter may use as a voter identification number; and
(3) explain to the voter that the voter is not required to provide or update a voter identification number at the polls.
(d) The poll clerk shall then add the clerk's initials in parentheses, after or under the signature. The voter then may vote.
(e) The poll list (or each line on a poll list sheet provided to take a voter's current residence address) must include a box under the heading "Address Unchanged" so that the voter may check the box instead of writing the voter's current address on the poll list, or if an electronic poll book is used, the poll clerk may check the box after stating to the voter the address shown on the electronic poll list and receiving an oral affirmation from the voter that the voter's residence address shown on the poll list is the voter's current residence address instead of writing the voter's current residence address on the poll list or reentering the address in the electronic poll book.
