§ Ind. Code § 3-11-13-29Instructions to voters; location of instructions; rights of voter in casting ballot

(a) In addition to the instructions printed on the ballot card or ballot labels,
instructions to voters shall be posted in each voting booth or placed on the marking device.
Each voter shall be instructed by both judges, on request, on how to operate the voting device
before the voter enters the voting booth.
(b) The instructions posted in the voting booth or placed on the marking device must state
the following:
(1) That the voter should examine the ballot card to determine whether the back of the
ballot card has:
(A) the initials of the poll clerks in ink; or
(B) the printed initials of the poll clerks, in a vote center county using an electronic
poll list and a printer separate from the electronic poll list that prints on the back of
each ballot card, immediately before the ballot card is delivered to the voter, the
printed initials of the poll clerks captured through the electronic signature pad or
tablet at the time the poll clerks log into the electronic poll book system.
(2) That the voter should not make an unnecessary mark on the ballot card because the
mark may void the card.
(3) That the voter should examine the ballot card to determine if the card has any mark
(other than the initials of the poll clerks) before voting.
(4) That the voter should return the ballot card to the poll clerks and request another
ballot card if:
(A) the poll clerks' initials have not been properly placed on the card;
(B) the card has a mark (other than the initials of the poll clerks) before the voter
places a voting mark on the ballot; or
(C) the voter has improperly marked the card.
(5) That the voter should examine the ballot card after voting to determine that all
marks made on the card to indicate the voter's selections have been completely marked.
(c) As provided by 52 U.S.C. 21081, a voter casting an optical scan ballot card under this
section must be:
(1) permitted to verify in a private and independent manner the votes selected by the
voter before the ballot is cast and counted;
(2) provided the opportunity to change the ballot or correct any error in a private and
independent manner before the ballot is cast and counted, including the opportunity to
receive a replacement ballot if the voter is otherwise unable to change or correct the
ballot; and
(3) notified before the ballot is cast regarding the effect of casting multiple votes for
the office and provided an opportunity to correct the ballot before the ballot is cast and
counted.
