[EL] Quick Question About Provisional Voting in California

[Mary Hill]

Scott,

Basically correct. It’s much easier to check if a VBM has been returned in a Vote Center County, as we have ePollbooks, or tech connected to VoteCal where it’s logged once a voter votes. For non-VCA counties, it’s pre-mark on the pollbook if a non-regular VBM voter voted, surrender the VBM ballot, or vote provisionally, since right around E-14 is when non VCA counties need to print their pollbooks for use on Nov 3rd.

I haven't read through the entire thread, but beginning in the 2018 primary, SB 286 requires polling sites to issue nonprovisional ballots upon
surrender or if the poll book verifies that the VBM has not been "returned," since it can be marked to prevent the VBM from being
subsequently "cast or tabulated." (amended Section 3015) This would appear to be a cancellation of the prior ballot for purposes of
Section 18 of the VRA, so a person whose ballot was mailed but not yet received would not be double voting.
I don't think the emergency rules change that.
