overvoting
Too many selections
Overvoting occurs when a voter marks more candidates than allowed for a given office or question, invalidating that portion of the ballot.
If instructions say "vote for one" and you select two, you've overvoted.
Election systems may reject overvoted ballots or simply not count the overvoted race: The machine flagged her ballot for overvoting in the senate race.
