spoiled ballot

Read a random definition: interinsurance

A quick definition of spoiled ballot:

A spoiled ballot is a vote that cannot be counted because it was cast incorrectly. This can happen if the voter marks the ballot in a way that doesn't follow the rules. For example, if they write something on the ballot or mark more than one candidate for the same position. A spoiled ballot is not counted towards any candidate and does not affect the election results.

A more thorough explanation:

A spoiled ballot is a ballot that cannot be counted because it was cast in a form or manner that does not comply with the applicable rules. This means that the vote is invalid and will not be included in the final count.

  • If a voter marks more than one candidate for a single office, their ballot may be considered spoiled.
  • If a voter writes a message or draws a picture on their ballot instead of marking their choices clearly, their ballot may be considered spoiled.
  • If a voter tears or damages their ballot in a way that makes it difficult to read, their ballot may be considered spoiled.

These examples illustrate how a ballot can be considered spoiled if it does not meet the requirements for a valid vote. It is important for voters to carefully follow the instructions provided to ensure that their vote is counted.
