Spoiled Ballots



If a ballot is marked outside the voting booth, the ballot is placed not in the ballot box but in the envelope for spoiled ballots.  In this case, the voter is given another ballot and the incident is recorded in the official record.  If the voter again marks the ballot outside the voting booth, the ballot is again placed in the envelope for spoiled ballots and the voter is not given another ballot.



If a voter marks or damages the ballot accidentally and requests a second ballot, the ballot is considered spoiled and is placed in the envelope for spoiled ballots and the voter is provided with a second ballot.  This incident is recorded in the official record.  A voter who damages the second ballot is not given another ballot paper.



Spoiled ballots are in no event placed in the ballot box.
