(a)Counting Provisional Ballots. Within fifteen

(15)calendar days after any election, the Commission shall count the provisional voter’s choices for every race for which the voter was eligible to vote. When a provisional voter casts a provisional ballot in the incorrect precinct, election officials shall count the votes on that ballot in every race for which the voter would be entitled to vote if he or she had been in the correct precinct.

(b)Opportunity to Remedy Incomplete Provisional Ballots. Provisional voters who lacked required information, such as proof of identity or failure to sign, shall be notified and shall be granted a seven

(7)day period to comply or supply missing information. Failure to abide shall constitute a spoiled provisional ballot.

(c)Provisional Ballots as a Remedy for Incomplete or Deficient Registration Applications. Provisional ballots shall serve to remedy incomplete or otherwise deficient voter registration applications. In the event that a voter is denied the right to vote a regular ballot because of an incomplete or otherwise deficient voter registration application, the provisional ballot shall be used to complete said voter’s application, provided that the provisions of §§ 3102 and 14104(j) of this Title have been met. The provisional voter shall be deemed registered as of the date of the original application. Within fifteen

(15)days after an election, when the voter’s application shall have been satisfactorily completed and deemed valid, the provisional ballot shall be counted.

(d)Registration of Unregistered Provisional Voters. Election officials shall register provisional voters, if they are not already registered or who are eligible to be registered, based on the information provided on the provisional ballot envelope and provided that the provisions of §§ 3102 and 14104(j) of the Title have been met.
