If the voter is not challenged under IC 3-10-1 or this chapter, the voter shall be provided with a regular official ballot. However, as provided by IC 3-7-48-7.5, if the voter is challenged under IC 3-10-1 or this chapter, the voter must cast a provisional ballot after complying with IC 3-7-48-7.5 if the voter wishes to cast a ballot.

If the county election board provides the precinct election board with the information required under IC 3-7-48-7(a)(2) and the voter is not challenged under IC 3-10-1 or this chapter, the voter shall be provided with a regular official ballot. However, as provided by IC 3-7-48-7.5, if the voter is challenged under IC 3-10-1 or this chapter, the voter must cast a provisional ballot after complying with IC 3-7-48-7.5 if the voter wishes to cast a ballot.

The voter may proceed to cast a provisional ballot after executing a challenged voter's affidavit under section 23 of this chapter if the voter wishes to cast a ballot.
(e) This subsection applies to a voter:
(1) whose name appears on the poll list for the precinct; and
(2) who no longer resides in the precinct but is entitled to vote at the precinct under IC 3-10-10, IC 3-10-11, or IC 3-10-12.
If the voter executes an affidavit in compliance with IC 3-10-10, IC 3-10-11, or IC 3-10-12 and the voter is not challenged under IC 3-10-1 or this chapter, the voter shall be provided with a regular official ballot.
