What happens if a persons name is not on the voter roll at the precinct?
If a voter is not on the current voter roll but knows that he or she has registered, the voter should be allowed to vote at that precinct by provisional ballot. However, if a provisional ballot is cast outside the voters proper election district, the voter’s selections for local contests or local ballot questions will not be counted. 13. Can a voter wear a candidates button or t-shirt to the polling place? A voter may wear campaign paraphernalia (buttons, t-shirts, hats, stickers, etc) into the polling place while there to vote. However, once the voter has voted, the voter may not linger in the polling place. 14. If a voters home was foreclosed, may he or she vote? Yes. An individual is entitled to vote in the precinct or election district in which the voter resides, and the voter retains the right to vote in that precinct or district until a residence in another precinct or district is established.
