submitted 127 years ago by Congress to r/title-2-THE-CONGRESS · 43 words · no verdicts yet

in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

Votes for members of Congress must use a written or printed ballot. A voting machine works too, if state law allows it. Any vote cast another way does not count.

Every vote for a Representative in Congress must be cast using a written or printed ballot. A voting machine may be used instead, but only if state law has properly authorized that machine. Any vote received or recorded in a way that breaks this rule has no legal effect.
