     (a) May issue the voter a receipt.

     (b) Shall ask the voter if the voter needs assistance in casting a ballot.

     (c) Shall make the following statement to the voter:

If you have any questions or concerns about the mechanical voting device, please stop voting immediately and bring your question or concern to the attention of a member of the election board. Once you have cast your ballot, you will not be able to have your question or concern addressed by the election board.

     (d) Shall direct the voter to a voting booth equipped to handle the voter’s ballot.

If the voter continues to attempt to delay the election, the election board may take any appropriate action to expedite the election, including, without limitation, removing the voter from the polling place if the county or city clerk has approved the removal.

     4. Before the commencement of voting and periodically throughout the election, members of the election board shall examine the voting booths to ensure that each booth does not contain any campaign cards, political advertising, partisan notes or any other matter that constitutes an unauthorized attempt to influence the voters.

     5. The election board shall ensure that a copy of the statement set forth in paragraph (c) of subsection 1 is prominently displayed at the polling place.

     6. If a member of the election board observes at a polling place any violation of the provisions of title 24 of NRS, he or she shall notify immediately the city clerk.
