Reply #11: State Warns Poll Workers Not To Cast Voters' Ballots

[OhioChick]

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- State elections officials are reminding poll workers about procedures for new electronic touch-screen voting machines that will be used in Tuesday's primary.

Ohioans have to make sure they press the button or box at the end of the voting process to make sure they've cast their ballot properly.

If voters leave a machine without completing that step, state rules say poll workers won't be allowed to finish the process, and the votes will be canceled.

This has been Ohio's voting policy for years, but it could become more of an issue with the move from punch-card ballots to newer voting systems.
