What options do I have if my ballot is lost, stolen, or spoiled?

If you live in North Dakota and your ballot is lost, stolen, or spoiled, there are several options available to you. The first option is to use a new ballot. You can go to your local polling place, show your ID, and request a new ballot. The polling station staff will provide you with a new ballot and you can vote again. The second option is to use an emergency ballot. This is a ballot that is issued on Election Day to those whose ballot has been lost, stolen, or spoiled. You will need to sign an affidavit in order to receive the emergency ballot. You will then fill out the new ballot and submit it. The third option is to vote by provisional ballot. You can go to your local polling place on Election Day and fill out a provisional ballot. This ballot will be held and then verified to make sure that you are eligible to vote. If all is in order, your vote will be counted. No matter what, it is important to make sure that your vote counts. You can always check with your county election office to find out what options are available to you.
