If a voter is required to vote on a provisional paper ballot, the presiding judge or election judge shall give the voter written instructions on how the voter may determine whether the vote was counted and, if the vote was not counted, the reason it was not counted. B. The secretary of state shall provide a free access system, such as a toll-free telephone number or internet website, that a voter who casts a provisional paper ballot may access to ascertain whether the voter's ballot was counted and, if the vote was not counted, the reason it was not counted and how to appeal the decision pursuant to rules issued by the secretary of state. Access to information about an individual voter's provisional paper ballot through the free access system is restricted to the voter who cast the ballot. C.

The voter shall have until the Friday prior to the meeting of the state canvassing board to appeal to the county clerk a decision to reject the voter's ballot. At any time up to and including the appeal, the voter may provide information or documentation to satisfy the reason the ballot was rejected.
