A voter whose ballot is not 7 accepted by the voting equipment may, upon surrendering the 8 ballot, request and vote another ballot. The voter's 9 surrendered ballot shall be initialed by the election judge 10 and handled as provided in the appropriate Article governing 11 that voting equipment. 12 The voter shall, upon quitting the voting booth, deliver 13 to one of the judges of election all of the ballots, properly 14 folded, which he received. The judge of election to whom the 15 voter delivers his ballots shall not accept the same unless 16 all of the ballots given to the voter are returned by him.

Upon receipt of all such ballots the judges of election 7 shall enter the name of the voter, and his number, as above 8 provided in this Section, and the judge to whom the ballots are 9 delivered shall immediately put the ballots into the ballot 10 box. If any voter who has failed to deliver all the ballots 11 received by him refuses to return to the voting booth after 12 being advised by the judge of election as herein provided, the 13 judge shall inform the other judges of such refusal, and 14 thereupon the ballot or ballots returned to the judge shall be 15 deposited in the ballot box, the voter shall be permitted to 16 depart from the polling place, and a new voter shall be 17 permitted to enter the voting booth. 18 The judge of election who receives the ballot or ballots 19 from the voter shall announce the residence and name of such 20 voter in a loud voice.

If 13 the provisional voter's signature on his or her provisional 14 ballot request varies from the signature on an otherwise valid 15 registration application solely because of the substitution of 16 initials for the first or middle name, the election authority 17 may not reject the provisional ballot. 18 (d) In validating the registration status of a person 19 casting a provisional ballot, the county clerk or board of 20 election commissioners shall not require a provisional voter 21 to complete any form other than the affidavit executed by the 22 provisional voter under subsection (b)(2) of Section 18A-5.

This information must be 20 received by the county clerk or board of election 21 commissioners within the applicable 7-calendar-day or 22 10-calendar-day period. 23 (e) If the county clerk or board of election commissioners 24 determines that subsection (b)(1), (b)(2), or (b)(3) does not 25 apply, then the provisional ballot is not valid and may not be 26 counted.
