A quick definition of legal vote:

A legal vote is a vote that is cast in the proper way by someone who is allowed to vote. It is the expression of one's preference or opinion in a meeting or election by ballot, show of hands, or other type of communication. An illegal vote is a vote that does not count because it was cast by someone not entitled to vote or for an ineligible choice, or in a form or manner that does not comply with the applicable rules.

A more thorough explanation:

A legal vote is a vote that is cast in the proper form and manner for an eligible choice by someone entitled to vote. It is the expression of one's preference or opinion in a meeting or election by ballot, show of hands, or other type of communication.

  • A person who is registered to vote casts their ballot for their preferred candidate in a presidential election. This is a legal vote.
  • A person who is not registered to vote attempts to cast a ballot in a local election. This is an illegal vote.
  • A person who fills out their ballot incorrectly, such as by marking more than one candidate for a single position, casts a spoiled ballot which is not a legal vote.

These examples illustrate the definition of a legal vote by showing the different scenarios in which a vote may or may not be considered legal. A legal vote is one that is cast by an eligible voter in the proper manner and for an eligible choice.
