Fulton County OHIO Board of Elections will NOT issue provisional ballots

[goodboy]

My message to them: Will you, or will you not hand out provisional ballots to those who mistakenly show up at the wrong precinct?

>No, we cannot according to state law & HAVA. They will be instructed where to go to vote in their right precinct. Would you want someone to vote on issues that would affect you and not them??

1. That is the correct response.

That precinct may not include the ballots that include local issues that are pressing to the voter.

In Florida, the "wrong" precinct will fill out a "Precinct Information for Provisional Ballot" form and will send the voter on their way to the correct precinct.

3. I guess I'm confused. I voted on a provisional ballot last time around

because I moved. Ken Blackwell, OH SoS is demanding that no provisional ballots be issued...

5. Were you in the right precinct?

If you insist you're in the right precinct, they can issue a provisional ballot. The key is INSISTENCE. But you have to be sure that you're right. Voting in the wrong precinct intentionally is a felony.

2. I happen to agree with the Board on this one

Down ballot items can be very specifically relates to a ward or precinct.


I don't want people without resident statuse voting in my precinct. It undecuts my voting power.


the Only peple who should be handing out provisionals are the county el;ection clerk.......
