(iii) if the elector is for any reason unable to secure a certificate of error, the elector may vote by signing an oath that his name was erroneously omitted, if the election administrator or designee can confirm such omission by telephone to the chief election judge of the precinct. The oath shall be marked "voted" by the election judges and returned by them with the precinct register. The elector should sign the back of the precinct register or in a location specified by the county election administrator; and

An election judge shall write "transfer form" or "registration form" beside the name of any elector submitting a form.

(3) Consistent with 13-13-114 (3) and (4) , and 13-1-116 , MCA, if the elector is not able to sign the elector's name to the precinct register, a fingerprint or other identifying mark may be used, or the elector may have an election administrator or election judge, or another person who has been designated by the elector as the elector's agent, provide a signature or identifying mark. If the elector fails or refuses to sign the elector's name or, if unable to write, fails to provide a fingerprint or other identifying mark, the elector may cast a provisional ballot as provided in 13-13-601 , MCA, and these rules.
