election official, who shall issue a proper ballot in its place.
The voter may spoil a touch screen ballot at the voting station before the ballot is cast.
After Voting the Ballot
After an official paper ballot is marked, it shall be folded so the inside marks do not show, but so the
printed endorsements and inspectors’ initials on the outside do show. The voter shall deposit the
voted ballot in the ballot box or deliver the ballot to an inspector for deposit and shall leave the polling
place promptly.
After an official optical scan ballot is marked, it may be inserted in the security sleeve, so the marks
do not show. The voter shall insert the ballot in the voting device and discard the sleeve or deliver the
ballot to an inspector for deposit. If a central count system is used, the voter shall insert the ballot in
the ballot box and discard the sleeve or deliver the ballot to an inspector for deposit. The voter shall
leave the polling place promptly.
After an official touch screen ballot is cast, the voter shall leave the polling place promptly.
