You may be asked to vote a provisional ballot if you meet specific criteria, including:
- You believe you are registered to vote even though your name is not on the official voter registration list at the polling place
- You signed up to vote by mail but want to vote at your polling place or vote center and you didn’t receive or you didn’t bring your vote by mail ballot with you and the election official is unable to verify that you have not returned your vote-by-mail ballot.
If you are asked to vote a provisional ballot it will be counted after elections officials confirm you are registered to vote and haven’t already voted in that election.
Provisional ballots are counted no later than the Thursday after the election until completed.For more information around provisional voting, and information on how to track your provisional ballot, please visit your Secretary of State’s website.
