Voters permitted to briefly leave a polling place to address an unexpected need, at the discretion of the head election judge.

Clarified that the permission to leave the polling place applies specifically to voters who have been issued a ballot but have not yet cast it.

Added a mandatory requirement for voters to complete a form containing their full name, address, date of birth, and the times of departure and return, which must be initialed by the voter and the head election judge.

Established a new protocol where the head election judge must accompany the voter to the ballot table to issue a new ballot upon their return.

Required the head election judge to note instances where a voter leaves and does not return in an incident log to explain discrepancies between voter check-ins and ballots cast.

Assigned the responsibility to the secretary of state to prepare the standardized form required for this process.
