The names must be listed alphabetically by last name. The list must contain a space for each voter to sign his or her name and to verify his or her current address, and a space for the inspector or judge to credit the voter with having participated in a particular election.

     (2) The auditor may eliminate from poll books ongoing absentee voters and voters requesting absentee ballots for that election.
