2118.5
. (a) If a voter is erroneously assigned to a precinct, the
voter may apply to the elections official for a certificate showing
the record of registration. The elections official shall give the
voter the certificate on or before election day. Upon presentation of
this certificate to the precinct board of the proper precinct, the
board shall permit the voter to vote. If the voter does not obtain
the certificate provided for in this section, and votes in the
precinct into which the voter has been erroneously assigned by the
elections official, and the election is contested, the voter's vote
shall not be rejected for those candidates and on those measures with
respect to which the voter would have been entitled to vote had the
voter voted in the proper precinct, and no inquiry shall be made as
to how the voter voted for those candidates or on those measures.
(b) No voter who receives a certificate of registration under this
section shall be charged a fee by the elections official.
