B. The clerk shall reject the signature of any person whose signed and printed names are so illegible that the clerk cannot identify the name; provided, however, the clerk may accept an otherwise illegible name if the voter has provided a registration number and the legible address information given by the person corresponds to voter registration information of the person registered to the voter registration number given.

E. The clerk shall reject the signature of any person who fails to provide a legible and adequate residence address as provided in this section.

F. The clerk shall reject the signature of any person whose petition signature and printed name are not the form in which the person is registered to vote unless the clerk is able to determine from the voter registration number or the address information from the state elections officer that the signature is that of a registered voter.
