9.1 New Precinct Procedures

9.1       New Precinct Procedures

9.1.1 Precinct Transfer

Sometimes a voter who moved without reporting will present at the precinct associated with his or her new address. When an election official determines that this voter is on the registration list in another precinct within the county, the official should refer him or her to the precinct transfer assistant at the help station. The precinct transfer assistant shall confirm whether the voter:

• is registered to vote in the county;

• is eligible to vote in the election;

• has not already voted in the election.

9.1.2 Provisional Voting

If it can be confirmed that the voter is eligible to vote in the election, he or she should be given an authorization to vote document and allowed to vote on the voting equipment in the new precinct.

The unreported move voter must be offered a provisional ballot if it cannot be confirmed that the voter:

• is registered in the county;

• is eligible to vote in the election; and

• has not already voted in the election
