(3) When the county board meets to pre-canvass or canvass
absentee ballots and mail-in ballots under paragraphs (1),
(1.1), (1.2) and (2), the board shall examine the declaration on
the envelope of each ballot not set aside under subsection (d)
and shall compare the information thereon with that contained in
the "Registered Absentee and Mail-in Voters File," the absentee
voters' list and/or the "Military Veterans and Emergency
Civilians Absentee Voters File," whichever is applicable. If the
county board has verified the proof of identification as
required under this act and is satisfied that the declaration is
sufficient and the information contained in the "Registered
Absentee and Mail-in Voters File," the absentee voters' list

provide a list of the names of electors whose absentee ballots
or mail-in ballots are to be pre-canvassed or canvassed. For
absentee ballots or mail-in ballots which the county board is
not satisfied that proof of identification has been provided due

the signature on file, the county board shall:

match the elector's signature in the registration books.
