certificate from the county recorder showing that the elector is entitled by
law to vote in the precinct shall be entered on the signature roster on the

jurisdiction, shall be allowed to vote a provisional ballot.
C. If

The voter shall present a form of identification that includes the voter's

resolved, the signature shall be compared to the precinct signature roster of
the former precinct where the voter was registered. If the voter's
name is not signed on the roster and if there is no indication that the voter
voted an early ballot, the provisional ballot envelope shall be opened and the
ballot shall be counted. If there is information showing the person
did vote, the provisional ballot shall remain unopened and shall not be

an election for a federal office and within five business days following any
other election, and the voter receipt card, notification or identification
card, if any, from the county recorder used therefor, if valid, shall be
returned to the elector within a reasonable time
thereafter. Verified ballots shall be counted by depositing the
ballot in the ballot box and showing on the records of the election that the
elector has voted. If registration is not verified the ballot shall remain
unopened and shall be retained in the same manner as voted ballots.
F. For
any person who votes a provisional ballot, the county recorder or other officer
in charge of elections shall provide for a method of notifying the provisional
ballot voter at no cost to the voter whether the voter's ballot was verified
and counted and, if not counted, the reason for not counting the ballot. The
notification may be in the form of notice by mail to the voter, establishment
of a toll free telephone number, internet access or other similar method to
allow the voter to have access
to
this information. The method of notification shall provide
reasonable restrictions that are designed to limit transmittal of the
information only to the voter." END_STATUTE
