Provisional ballots are typically given to voters whose name isn’t on the voter registration list at a polling place, but they believe they are properly registered. They are sealed and not opened or counted unless the auditor determines the individual is eligible to vote in the election, I.e., registered to vote, resident of the applicable locale, etc.
In the sake of transparency I'd like to know the party registration of the voters who cast the rejected provisional ballots.
And how far out of town do they live? I can maybe understand the mistake if they live in a new development that is set to be taken in by the city, but if we're talking a mile outside of town, law enforcement should look into it.
What is a provisional ballot? Why just 5? How do people outside the city get a ballot? A few questions you might address.
