If You’re Voting Absentee Follow all the Instructions
WCMH-TV is reporting today in Columbus that there are in fact potentially hundreds of absentee ballots which will not be counted due to voters not properly placing completed ballots in their inner envelopes and signing them.
If you are voting absentee, follow the instructions. You’re vote will not be counted if it’s not signed and sealed in the inner envelope.
Read the envelope and you’ll see a disclaimer that ballots without the required information will not be counted. But that hasn’t stopped hundreds of voters from making the same mistake.
In the 2008 primary election, 657 voters returned their ballot without the identification envelope. 372 voters didn’t sign the identification envelope and 368 voters didn’t write down their date of birth
If you did not include the identification envelope when mailing your absentee ballot, you cannot fix the mistake. That’s why it is so important to read the instructions, officials said.
