This requirement may mean that states need to have provisional ballots available at every poll site in the state to serve voters from any district in the state. If this is the intent, or if this is how this requirement is interpreted, each poll site may need a ballot-printing device programmed to contain every ballot face in use in the state for the specific election. In addition, each poll site would need some way to determine if a voter is registered anywhere in the state. This requirement would create a huge market for more electronic equipment, such as electronic poll books which have had an extraordinarily high failure rate so far.

Solution

Revise the language of the requirement to clarify what is intended. If voters in the wrong poll site, or at the wrong table in the right poll site, are intended to receive the ballot for that poll site or that table, this should be made clear.

25. Military and Overseas Voting

States shall accept and process any otherwise valid voter registration or absentee ballot application submitted by an absent uniformed services voter or overseas voter that contains the information required on the official form.[87]

States shall accept and process any otherwise valid write-in absentee ballot from an absent uniformed services voter or overseas voter that contains the information required.[88]

No complaints.
