During a pre-certification meeting on Friday, Nov. 8, Nancy Gay, executive director of the Columbia County Board of Elections, said there are 128 provisional ballots to go over.
“A provisional ballot is a paper ballot used by a voter when their eligibility to vote cannot be determined at the polling place. Voters who declare they are registered and eligible to vote in the county in which they desire to vote, but whose names do not appear on the registration list, must be permitted to cast a provisional ballot. If you have a good faith belief you are properly registered in your county, you have the right to vote a provisional ballot. The provisional ballot will count if your eligibility can be determined within three days after Election Day by your County Registrar’s office,” according to the Georgia Secretary of State website.
