Thx 4 orig Play Ball boost

You’d be surprised how many people register for #absenteevoting , get their ballot in the mail, and then bring it to the polling place. Or, they don’t bring it, and they rock up at the polling place and want to vote.

We KNOW we mailed you a ballot. Maybe you didn’t get it, maybe you did. You’re not voting in the polling place unless you surrender the one we mailed you. If you can’t surrender it, you have 2 choices: vote a provisional ballot, or go home and get it to surrender it.

You are definitely not taking the one we mailed you and putting it through the scanner. Even though they would totally work. Because that’s what they do at the office of elections if they decide to count your ballot.

We know how many ballots came in for our precinct. Every ballot must be accounted for. They go in a few places:

• into the scanner, counted
• into an envelope, spoiled
• into a provisional ballot, when there’s some uncertainty about your eligibility
• into a provisional ballot because you are doing a same-day registration (register to vote and vote for the first time in one motion)
• into an envelope, voided

What’s the difference between “spoiled” and “voided”?

I’m glad you asked.
