Current through Vol. 41, No. 20, July 1, 2024
(a)
Voter not
				  in Precinct Registry.
A provisional ballot cast by a voter whose name is
				  not in the Precinct Registry shall be considered verified and approved for
				  counting if evidence of the voter's valid and timely voter registration is
				  found and if:
(1) the provisional ballot was
				  cast in the precinct of the voter's residence as indicated in the voter
				  registration record or other evidence found; and
(2) in the case of a partisan primary
				  election, the voter cast a provisional ballot for the same party as that of the
				  voter's political affiliation in the voter registration record or other
				  evidence found.

Current through Vol. 41, No. 20, July 1, 2024
The following steps shall be taken to verify the
					 eligibility of a provisional voter whose name is not listed in the Precinct
					 Registry.
(1) Verify that the voter's
				  residence address as indicated on the provisional ballot affidavit is located
				  within the current geographical boundaries of the precinct in which the
				  provisional ballot was cast. If the address provided by the voter is not in the
				  precinct, the ballot shall not be counted.
(2) Look for the voter's registration
				  information in MESA.
(A) If the voter's
				  registration information is found in MESA, determine whether the voter's
				  residence address shown in MESA is located in the precinct where the
				  provisional ballot was cast. If the voter registration address in MESA is
				  located in the precinct where the provisional ballot was cast, write the voter
				  identification number in the space provided on the affidavit envelope. Try to
				  determine why the voter's name was not found in the Precinct
				  Registry.
(B) If the voter's
				  registration information is not in MESA, the voter is not registered and the
				  ballot shall not be counted.

Current through Vol. 41, No. 20, July 1, 2024
The following steps shall be observed to verify the
					 eligibility of a provisional voter who was unable or unwilling to provide proof
					 of identity at the polls.
(1) Look for
				  the voter's registration information in MESA and verify that all the
				  information provided by the voter on the affidavit matches the information
				  recorded in MESA as required in
				  230:35-3-126(b).
(2) Indicate the disposition of the
				  provisional ballot in the "For CEB Office Use Only" space on the affidavit
				  envelope by placing a check mark beside "Count" or "Reject" as
				  appropriate
(3) If a provisional
				  ballot is verified and approved for counting, place the affidavit envelope,
				  unopened, in a locked ballot box or other locked container until the County
				  Election Board meets to open the affidavit envelopes.
(4) If the ballot is rejected, indicate the
				  reason for the rejection in the space provided on the affidavit envelope. Place
				  all rejected provisional ballot affidavits aside in a secure location
				  completely separate from affidavits not yet verified and from those that are
				  verified and approved for counting.
