• Provisional Ballot

  A provisional ballot is a regular ballot that is placed in a special envelope prior to being put in the ballot box. It is available for the voters whose identification is not verified at a polling place. A provisional ballot may be offered to those who believe they are registered to vote even though their names are not on the official voter registration list at the polling place and those who applied to vote by mail but would like to cast a vote in person.

  Every voter who casts a provisional ballot has the right to find out from their local election official if the ballot was counted and, if not, the reason why it was not counted. Visit this page to contact the auditor to check the status of your provisional ballot.
