Challengers; permitted activities.
A. A challenger, upon presentation of the written appointment to the precinct board, shall
be permitted to be present at any time from the time the precinct board convenes at the polling place until the completion of the precinct board's duties after the polls close.
B. A challenger, for the purpose of interposing challenges, may:
(1) view the signature roster or precinct voter list for the purpose of determining whether
the challenger desires to interpose a challenge when a signature roster or precinct voter list is
used;
(2) view the application to vote form before the voter receives a ballot for the purpose of
determining whether the challenger desires to interpose a challenge when an application to vote
form is used;
(3) view the signature roster or checklist of voters to determine whether entries are being
made in accordance with the Election Code;
(4) view each voting machine before the polls are opened to ensure that the public counter
is at zero, that the results tape contains no votes and that there are no voted ballots in the voting
machine bins; and
(5) make in any polling place and preserve for future reference written memoranda of any
action or omission on the part of any member of the precinct board.
