voting procedures
Ballot casting rules
Voting procedures are the established rules and methods that govern how elections are conducted, from voter registration through ballot counting.
These procedures specify who is eligible to vote, how ballots are cast and verified, and how results are certified.
The county revised its voting procedures after long lines plagued the last election.
Procedures vary significantly across jurisdictions and may include requirements for identification, early voting options, absentee ballot protocols, and standards for challenging or recounting results.
