P.R. Laws tit. 16, § 4173
As soon as the voting is concluded in a polling place, and only then, may the polling place officials assigned to such polling place cast their votes, secretly, provided that they are registered voters of the precinct in which they are working as officials, and have their voter identification card and present it to the other members of the Polling Place Board, together with their appointment. If their names do not appear on the voter list of the polling place in which they are working, they will register on said list stating the official position they hold, their voter identification card number, their personal information, and the number of the precinct and electoral unit in which they are registered.
These notes shall be entered on a special page which shall be included at the end of the voter list to such effect.
The polling place official shall have his/her finger inked with an indelible substance as provided by the Commission through regulations.
