Application For Ballots

Although counties using a punch card voting system are exempt from using pre-numbered applications for ballots pursuant to T.C.A. §2—5—216(b)(2), the county election commission should consider whether the use of pre-numbered applications for ballot would increase security and accounting of ballots. In counties where pre-numbered applications are used, the following designation shall appear on the face of such application: Punch-card Ballot No. The registrar will enter the Application number on the voter’s permanent registration card and the voter will enter his if her application number before his or her name on the poll list. The voter will then present his or her verified application to the Ballot Clerk who will enter the Punch-Card Ballot Number in the blank on the Application before giving the voter his or her ballot and shall place his or her initials next to such a notation.
