§ 14277 Ballot Handling By Voters

• •Voter must hand the folded ballot or envelope to a precinct board member.
• •The board member must remove the ballot stub and give it back to the voter.
• •The ballot is then placed in the ballot container, and the worker must not look at the voter’s markings when moving it.

Jane puts her completed ballot in an envelope and hands it to the poll worker. The worker takes the little stub, gives the stub back to Jane, and then puts the ballot into the ballot box without looking at her choices.

The poll worker follows the rule by taking the stub, returning it, and making sure the ballot stays private when moving it from the envelope to the box.
