When a judge or election clerk finds the voter's name in the signature roster, the judge or election
clerk shall in like manner repeat the name of the voter. The judge or election clerk shall then ask
the voter to provide the required voter identification. The voter shall then sign the voter's name or
make the voter's mark on the signature line in the copy of the signature roster to be returned to
the county clerk. Upon the voter's name or mark being written in the signature roster, a challenge
may be interposed as provided in the Election Code [Chapter 1 NMSA 1978].
