§ 13216 Ballot Stub And Marks

This law says you can use the little paper stub from a ballot as the actual ballot, and the ballot can have printed designs or marks as long as nobody can see how you voted.

Key Takeaways

•A ballot stub can count as the actual ballot.
•Ballots can have printed designs or marks.
•Any marks are okay only if they don’t reveal how a person voted.

Example

Jane goes to the polling place, gets a ballot with a colorful logo and a small paper stub attached. She tears off the stub and uses it to mark her choices, then puts the whole thing in the ballot box.

Because the law lets the stub be the ballot and allows the ballot to have printed designs, Jane’s voting is allowed as long as her choices stay secret.

A ballot stub may be used for a ballot. The ballots may contain printed and distinguishing marks if secrecy in voting is protected. (Repealed and added by Stats. 2023, Ch. 676, Sec. 32. (AB 1219) Effective January 1, 2024.)
