PROVISIONALS
Orange County Supervisor of Elections Bill Cowles and Supervisor of Elections
Representative Timothy Frazier briefly explained the one provisional ballot that had been
received. Mr. Frazier shared that he advised the voter that she would have to bring her license
to their office in order for her ballot to count and she had indicated she would think about it.
Orange County Supervisor of Elections Bill Cowles said that response is typical for
provisional ballots, especially after results are given, and usually they do not have voters come
hack with anything to support their provisional. He advised that the Canvassing Board can vote
to reject this ballot should they chose too. City Clerk Eikenberry clarified that if the voter did
come in after they canvassed then they would have to change the certification to reflect that. Mr.
Cowles answered in the affirmative.
Canvassing Board Member Grafton, seconded by Canvassing Board Member Laney,
moved to reject the provisional ballot. Motion carried unanimously.
It was discussed that one absentee ballot came in and in order to count it they would have to run
it through the machine and a new print out with the official totals will be given to the City Clerk.
After the official totals are certified then the audit team will begin their process.
Audit Team Members Kathy Heard and Nichole I)eReinzo were taken aside to be briefed on the
audit procedures.
The City Attorney inquired about the absentee ballot that was being processed for which an
explanation was given by the Supervisor of Elections.
