After the voter states his or her name, the election official should search for the voter’s name on the voter list. The official should check carefully to ensure that the existence of a similar name on the list does not cause the wrong voter to be checked off. If more information is needed to determine the correct voter record, it is permissible for the election official to ask that the voter spell the name and/or to ask that the voter provide his or her date of birth.
