If a person is casting a provisional 12 ballot under these circumstances, the person shall receive a 13 printed statement giving notice of the types of acceptable 14 identification and notice that the person is required to show 15 acceptable identification before the provisional ballot can be 16 counted unless the voter executes an affidavit pursuant to Code 17 section 49.81, subsection 5. If a voter casts a provisional 18 ballot for these reasons, the precinct election official shall 19 indicate on the provisional ballot that the voter is casting 20 a provisional ballot due to the voter’s inability or refusal 21 to present proof of identification.
