Any person desiring to vote on election day shall give his name and address to the
clerk of the election. If the person's name is listed on the precinct list furnished by
the State Board of Elections as provided in KRS 117.025 and if no challenge is
made, he shall sign his name on the precinct list in the space opposite his printed
name. The voter's signature shall constitute his verification that he is a properly
registered and qualified voter. The voter shall then retire alone to cast his vote on
the voting machine. The county board of elections may provide to each precinct the
original registration form of each voter entitled to vote in that precinct. These forms
shall be used to compare signatures in those precincts to which the forms are
provided.
If supplemental paper ballots are used, as provided in KRS 118.215, after voting on
the voting machine the voter shall take the supplemental paper ballot with the stub
intact and retire alone to the voting booth provided for voting paper ballots. After
voting the supplemental paper ballot, the voter shall remove the numbered stub,
hand the stub to an election official and deposit the voted ballot in the locked ballot
box.
