(1) each parcel of real property that is:
(A) located within the county and the district; and
(B) subject to property tax under IC 6-1.1; and
(2) the name of each individual who is identified in property tax records as the holder of a freeholder's interest in a parcel of property described in subdivision (1).
(b) To be eligible to vote in an election of directors of a district:
(1) an individual must have a freeholder's interest in real property listed on the current tax list provided under subsection (a); and
(2) the individual's name must appear on the list of freeholders provided under subsection (a).
(c) Before casting a vote at a polling place, a freeholder shall sign the list of freeholders in the presence of the secretary of the district or an election clerk appointed under section 3(h) of this chapter. The freeholder shall sign the list in the space opposite the name of the freeholder on the list.
(d) Notwithstanding subsection (b)(2), if:

(2) the secretary of the district or an election clerk finds that the freeholder's name was erroneously omitted from the list;
the secretary or clerk shall place the freeholder's name on the list. After the freeholder's name is placed on the list, the freeholder is entitled to cast a ballot in the election.
(e) After placing a freeholder's name on the list under subsection (d), the secretary or clerk shall mark the list opposite the name of the freeholder who cast that vote to note the receipt of a valid written ballot vote from the freeholder.
