Invalid Vote definition
Invalid Vote means one or more votes on an officially cast Ballot that has been marked in such a way that it is not possible to determine the intent of the voter, as memorialized by a vote of the Election Board. Any invalid votes on an official Ballot shall not be counted for purposes of tallying votes under this Ordinance. Note: Valid votes on the same ballot shall still be counted in tallying votes under this Ordinance. The entire ballot shall be counted in tabulating the total number of Ballots cast in conjunction with determining whether the required percentage of the Registered Voters has participated in the election (i.e., whether a Quorum is present).
Invalid Vote means a rejected ballot because the Election Committee and/or the Election Contractor retained by Tribal Council cannot identify the candidate chosen or the name on a returned inner labeled coin envelope or verify it against the Official Voting Roll, or because an opened inner labeled coin envelope contains more than one ballot, or if a voter signs a ballot or otherwise has not followed the Instructions to Voters Sheet.
