If you end up casting a provisional ballot, it will be counted once your eligibility is verified, not only if there's a tie. See other common election misconceptions dispelled here:
CLEVELAND — As early voting is expanded heading into the final week before the Nov. 8 Election, with your local boards of election open 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. through Friday with hours this weekend as well, election officials are doing their part to make sure that voters are educated about the process and aware of how it works.
"You can drop off your vote-by-mail ballot here on Election Day, but you cannot drop it off at your local polling location,” said Cuyahoga County Board of Elections Deputy Director Tony Kaloger. “They are not able to accept it. If you do, you'll still be able to vote provisional." "These ballots always count,” said Director Anthony Perlatti. “So a lot of times there's myths that only if it's a tie or only if it's close do we bring these into the mix, that's not true."
"In a time where sometimes it seems like Republicans and Democrats can't agree what day of the week it is in Washington, at your county Board of Elections and 87 others, it's half Republicans and half Democrats working together,” said Secretary of State Frank LaRose.
