When a voter needs to vote a provisional ballot, a polling official needs to issue a provisional 

smart card. After the card is encoded, the polling official records the VID number shown on the 

computer screen onto the voter’s provisional envelope. After receiving the provisional voting 

smart card from the polling official, the voter can insert the smart card into any voting unit. A 

message will appear on the touchscreen notifying the voter that he/she will be voting a 

provisional ballot. The provisional voter can vote on the touchscreen voting unit in exactly the 

same way as would a registered voter. When the ballot is cast, the voting unit will encode the 

result back onto the smart card and store the result in the computer. Check with your election 

administrator about whether you need to tell the voter to seal the smart card inside the envelope 

after the ballot is cast. 

 

If the external power supply goes out during the Election Day, you may need to turn off the 

printer temporarily to conserve power retained by the UPS. To do so, choose “Machine Setting 

and Testing” from the administrative screen (Figure 3.2J). (To find out how to get to this 

administrative screen from the voting screen, follow the instruction in Section 7.) 

 

In Figure 6.6A, choose “Test Printer”. Next, in Figure 6.6B, choose “Set Offline”.
