All absentee ballots received by a board of elections shall be subject to challenge by a watcher or other qualified elector prior to the removal of the absentee ballot envelope from the envelope containing the applicant's affidavit, for noncompliance with this chapter or for any person allowed by applicable provision of law, and if such a ballot is challenged the chairman or vice-chairman of the board shall endorse on the affidavit envelope the word “Challenged”, with the name and address of the voter who makes the challenge. If the board is satisfied that the challenge is well grounded, the ballot envelope shall not be removed from the affidavit envelope and shall not be counted, but shall be preserved and mailed or delivered to the Supervisor of Elections with other rejected ballots; otherwise, the affidavit envelope shall be opened and the absentee ballot envelope placed in the ballot box as provided in section 667(a) of this title.
