29A.44.340 - Incorrectly marked ballots. - Washington Statutes

Incorrectly marked ballots.

Each poll-site ballot counting device must be programmed to return all blank ballots and overvoted ballots to the voter for private reexamination. The election officer shall take whatever steps are necessary to ensure that the secrecy of the ballot is maintained. The precinct election officer shall provide information and instruction on how to properly mark the ballot. The voter may remark the original ballot, may request a new ballot under RCW 29A.44.040, or may choose to complete a special ballot envelope and return the ballot as a special ballot.
