24.2-652)

A. When a person offers to vote and his name does not appear on the pollbook,
the officers of election shall permit him to vote only if all of the following
conditions are met:

   1. An officer of election is informed by the general registrar that the voter
   is registered to vote, that his registration has not been cancelled, and that
   his name is erroneously omitted from the pollbook.

   2. The voter signs a statement, subject to felony penalties for false
   statements pursuant to &#xA7; 24.2-1016, that he is a qualified and registered
   voter of that precinct, a resident of that precinct, and his registration is
   not subject to cancellation pursuant to &#xA7;&#xA7; 24.2-430, 24.2-431, and
   24.2-432; and he provides, subject to such penalties, all the information
   required to identify himself including the last four digits of his social
   security number, if any, full name including the maiden or any other prior
   legal name, birthdate, and complete address.

   3. The officer of election enters the identifying information for the voter on
   the pollbook.
   				When the voter has signed the statement and is permitted to vote, the
   officers of election shall mark his name on the pollbook with the next
   consecutive number from the voter count form, or shall enter that the voter
   has voted if the pollbook is in electronic form, and shall indicate on the
   pollbook that he has signed the required statement in accordance with the
   instructions of the State Board.

B. If the general registrar is not available or cannot state that the person is
registered to vote, such person shall be allowed to vote by provisional ballot
pursuant to &#xA7; 24.2-653. The officers of election shall provide to him an
application for registration. The State Board of Elections shall provide
instructions to the electoral boards for the handling and counting of such
provisional ballots.
