(1) Give the voter a ballpoint pen.

(2) Direct the voter to a vacant voting booth and ask the voter to read the Attention Voter poster in the voting booth.

(3) Tell the voter that after marking the ballots in the privacy of the voting booth, he should place the voted ballot inside a secrecy folder, if used, and return to the voting device. [26:7-120]

(4) When the voter returns to the voting device, tell the voter to feed the ballot into the voting device. Either end of the ballot may be fed first and the ballot may face up or down.

(5) Retrieve the ballpoint pen and secrecy folder, if used, from the voter.

(6) If the voting device returns a ballot, the voter may be able to resolve the problem himself by following the instructions on the voting device console screen and pressing the appropriate buttons. However, the Inspector should always be prepared to answer questions and to assist the voter if necessary.

(7) If the voting device console screen displays an error code and a message indicating that the ballot has already been counted, follow the instructions in the Election Day Reference and Problem Solver in the Precinct Official Notebook to resolve the problem.

(8) In the event a voter inserts a ballot into the voting device, immediately leaves the voting enclosure, and the device rejects and returns the ballot, the Inspector shall leave the abandoned ballot in the device and press the Cast Ballot button on the device console to accept the ballot unchanged.
