(A) Any elector who, because of physical handicap or age, cannot enter the polling place in the precinct in which he is registered to vote, or is unable to stand in line to vote, may vote outside that polling place in the closest available parking area utilizing the vehicle in which he has been driven, or has driven to the polls.

(B) When the managers are informed that a handicapped or elderly voter cannot enter the polling place or cannot stand in line to vote, the voter’s identification required by § 7-13-710 must be presented to the managers who must verify that the voter is eligible to vote. Upon verification of the voter’s eligibility, two managers shall take the poll list and the voter’s ballot to the voter in his vehicle outside the polling place. The managers shall notify any poll watchers present who, at their discretion, may accompany the managers as observers. Where the polling place uses machines for the purposes of voting, the poll managers must use the ballots provided under §§ 7-13-1470 or 7-13-1870 for those voters who cannot enter the polling place.
