A provisional ballot is a paper ballot provided to (1) individuals who believe that they are registered voters but whose names are not on the rolls, and (2) first-time voters who do not provide proper ID at the polls on Election Day. This is an option of last resort if a voter is not allowed to cast a regular ballot.
