VOTING A PROVISIONAL BALLOT
I am being told I have to vote provisionally, what does that mean?
Provisional ballots ensure that voters are not excluded from the voting process due to an administrative error. They provide a fail-safe mechanism for voters who arrive at the polls on Election Day and whose eligibility to vote is uncertain.
A voter using a provisional ballot to vote will follow the same procedures as casting a regular ballot. Prior to receiving a provisional ballot, a voter will first need to sign an affidavit attesting to their eligibility to vote and complete a voter update form. Provisional ballots are placed in a separate secure ballot box from regular ballots.
A provisional ballot is used to record a vote when there are questions about a given voter's eligibility that must be resolved before the vote can count. A voter may be offered a provisional ballot when the voter’s name is not on the voter list, the voter’s name was marked off the voter list because they applied for an absentee ballot, the voter did not provide photo identification, the voter’s right to vote is being challenged by an inspector.
Provisional ballots are only counted IF the voter did vote at their correct precinct.
You can track the status of their provisional ballot using the state's provisional ballot tool.
