Provisional Ballot Envelope
Election
Contains the provisional ballot affidavit and other required information, such as spaces for type and date of election, precinct number, the voter’s name, residence and mailing addresses, driver’s license/personal ID or last 4 digits of social security number (or a statement that voter has neither of these numbers), and an affirmation the voter is a US citizen. The envelope includes space for the election judge to indicate why the voter is voting provisionally and for the judge’s signature, as well as a section to be completed by the voter registrar upon that person’s post-election review of the voter’s registration status. The voter completes the affidavit, marks the provisional ballot, and places the provisional ballot in the envelope (unless the voter is voting electronically, in which case a slip with the DRE ballot serial number is placed on the envelope or the ballot number is noted on the outside of the envelope in a location designated for that purpose).
