What is the procedure for hand-delivery of marked ballots?

The following steps should be followed when a voter hand-delivers their marked ballot to the early voting clerk's office: 

  1. The voter will bring the marked ballot enclosed in the executed Carrier Envelope to the early voting clerk's office
  2. The voter must present a List A form of photo identification (or List B identification with a reasonable impediment declaration [RID]) to the election official taking the ballot.
  3. The election official will add the voter's name to the "Signature Roster - Hand Delivery of Ballot by Mail" and instruct the voter to sign the signature column on the corresponding numbered line.
  4. The election official will indicate on the roster whether the voter provided an approved form of photo identification or executed a RID, and the official will note the date and time that the ballot was delivered.
  5. The election official will print the name of the official who received the ballot from the voter.
  6. The election official will write "Hand Delivered" on the Carrier Envelope and note the date and time that the ballot was delivered.
  7. Upon receipt of the Carrier Envelope, the election official must secure the ballot (in the same manner that the early voting clerk secures ballots received by mail) until the ballot is delivered to the early voting ballot board.
