When the voter shall have marked the ballot, he or she shall leave the privacy booth with the ballot, proceed at once to the ballot scanner, insert such ballot into the ballot scanner and wait for the notice that the ballot has been successfully scanned. If no such notice appears, the voter shall seek the assistance of an election inspector. 3. Upon voting, the voter forthwith shall pass outside the guardrail, unless he or she is a person authorized to remain for other purposes than voting. 4. When a person shall have received a paper ballot from any clerk, or inspector, as hereinbefore provided, he or she shall be deemed to have commenced the act of voting, and if, after receiving such official ballot, he or she shall leave the space inclosed by the guard-rail before the deposit of his or her ballot in the ballot scanner, ballot box or other secure storage container, as hereinbefore provided, he or she shall not be entitled to pass again within the guard-rail for the purpose of voting, or to receive any further ballots. 5. No ballot without the official indorsement shall be allowed to be deposited in the ballot scanner or, when a ballot scanner is inoperable or otherwise unable to scan the ballot, in a ballot box or other secure storage container except for emergency ballots as provided in subdivision two of section 7-120 of this chapter.
