Four Ways Ohio and Others Have Toughened Voting Rules - Ohio won't count provisional ballots mistakenly cast in wrong precinct

Submitted by Quest-News-Serv... on Mon, 10/08/2012 - 17:18.

Four years ago in Ohio, there were 200,000 provisional ballots cast among a total 5.7 million votes. This was the most among any state other than California. (Federal law requires states to use provisional ballots when a voter's eligibility is in question or if their registration doesn't reflect a new name or address.)

Ohio tried to shorten its early voting period — until a federal court ruled otherwise.

But Ohio requires county election boards to reject provisional ballots if the ballot doesn't correspond to the voter's assigned precinct — even if it was the poll worker's mistake. (A few other states have similar rules, but Ohio is fighting a lawsuit right now to preserve its approach.)
