Is this "provisional ballots"? They allow someone who thinks he is a registered voter to cast a ballot which will only be counted, if checking voter registration rolls verifies the voter's claim. This is designed to handle people who become irate at polls and cut down on need to call the registrar from polling places.
The only way I can think of to be sure that bogus votes are not cast is for us to become involved and make sure that voting and counting are carefully monitored.
