On Election Day, if you do not bring an acceptable form of identification with a signature or photo ID, or if there is any question about your eligibility to vote, you may vote using a provisional ballot. You will mark your ballot as usual, but instead of placing it in the DS200 Precinct Scanner, it will be sealed in a Provisional Ballot Envelope and sent to our office for review. If your eligibility is verified, your ballot will be counted. To check the status of your provisional ballot, click here.
If you voted provisionally only because you did not provide an acceptable photo and signature ID at the polls, no further action is required. The canvassing board will compare the signature on your Provisional Ballot Certificate with the one on file. If they match, your ballot will be counted. If the signature is missing or does not match, you can submit a DS-DE 210 - Provisional Ballot Cure Affidavit (see forms below) to the Supervisor of Elections by 5 p.m. on the second day after the election to correct the issue.
If you voted provisionally for other reasons, you must submit supporting evidence to your Supervisor of Elections by 5 p.m. on the second day after the election. The canvassing board will review all relevant documents, including your Provisional Ballot Certificate and any cure affidavit, and will make a determination based on the law.
