If the wrong candidate is marked on your ballot or if it gets stuck in the printer, what happens next? The Texas Election Code has a plan.
If a Texas voter spoils their ballot, they are entitled to receive up to two additional ballots but no more than three: Find key dates, how to check your voter status, how to find out where and when you can vote early and on Election Day, and what you'll need to bring with you to the polls.Tuesday, Nov. 5, is Election Day. On that day, polls will be open in Texas from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. You'll be allowed to vote if you're in line by 7 p.m. on Election Day.
The election officer takes the spoiled ballot and notes the voter's name and ballot number in the Register of Spoiled Ballots and the Official Ballot Register. The spoiled ballot is then placed in a Secrecy Sleeve and deposited into a special ballot box dubbed Ballot Box No. 4, which is not counted. The voter is then allowed to vote on the new ballot. Before casting their ballot in the scanner, voters are encouraged to read over their printed ballot a final time to ensure the candidates listed are the ones they selected. If there are any issues, they should notify an election official and ask for a new ballot.
