				The chief judge or a judge may designate one of the assistants to attend the
				voter, or assist the voter himself or herself. Upon arrival outside the voting
				place, the voter shall execute the affidavit after being sworn by a precinct
				election official. The ballot shall then be delivered to the voter who shall
				mark the ballot and hand it to the assisting precinct election official. The
				ballot shall then be delivered to one of the judges of elections who shall
				deposit the ballot in the proper boxes. The affidavit shall be delivered to a
				different judge of election.
(3)
				The voter and any assisting person shall be entitled to the same assistance and
				subject to the same restrictions in marking the ballot as set forth in
				G.S.
				163A-1139 and
				08 NCAC
				10B .0107.
(4) The affidavit executed by the voter shall
				be retained by the county board of elections for a period of six
				months.
(5) In those precincts
				using voting machines, the county board of elections shall furnish paper
				ballots of each kind for use by persons in accordance with this Rule and
				G.S.
				163A-1140.
(6) In any precinct using direct record
				electronic voting equipment, the county board of elections may provide for all
				such paper ballots to be transported upon closing of the polls to the office of
				the county board of elections for counting. Those ballots may be transported
				only by the chief judge, judge, or assistant and shall be tracked using a
				ballot control form. Upon receipt by the county board of elections, these
				ballots shall be counted and canvassed in the same manner as one-stop ballots
				cast under
				G.S.
				163A-1300 except that the count shall
				commence when the board has received from each precinct either that precinct's
				ballots or notification that no such ballots were cast. Ballots counted by the
				county board of elections under this Paragraph shall be tabulated so that
				election-day curbside ballots and one-stop curbside ballots are tabulated
				separately from each other and from other precincts and/or reporting
				groups.
