Definition

An ABSENTEE BALLOT or QUESTIONED BALLOT that can be counted only for certain races because the voter voted in a district in which he or she was not registered. In such cases, statewide races and ballot measures count. If the voter votes within his or her state Senate district, the Senate race will count if the voter is registered in either of the two House districts that share the Senate district.
