Cancellation of Spoiled Ballot

The precinct board shall immediately cancel a spoiled ballot returned by a voter by writing the letter “X” upon the face of the ballot in ink or indelible pencil. All spoiled ballots shall be counted and placed and sealed in an envelope endorsed “Spoiled Ballots,” and returned to the Election Return Center along with the roster, ballot boxes, unused ballots and all other documents, materials and supplies at the closing of the polls. Each precinct board member shall sign their names across the sealed portion of the envelope and write thereon the total number of spoiled ballots contained in the envelope.
