18primary does not invalidate the ballot on which the elector's votes are cast. Return
19of more than one marked ballot in a primary or return of a ballot prepared under s.
205.655 or a ballot used with an electronic voting system in a primary which is marked
21for candidates of more than one party invalidates all votes cast by the elector for

14place and does not present a license or identification card under s. 6.79 (2), whenever

SB567,30,410 6.97 (3) (b) Whenever the municipal clerk or executive director of the municipal
11board of election commissioners is informed by the inspectors that a ballot has been
12cast under this section, the clerk or executive director shall promptly provide written
13notice to the board of canvassers of each municipality, special purpose district, and
14county that is responsible for canvassing the election of the number of ballots cast
15under this section in each ward or election district. The municipal clerk or executive
16director then shall determine whether each individual voting under this section is
17qualified to vote in the ward or election district where the individual's ballot is cast.
18If the elector is required to provide a license or identification card or copy thereof
19under s. 6.79 (2) or 6.86 (1) (ar) and fails to do so, the elector bears the burden of
20correcting the omission by providing the license or identification card or copy thereof
21at the polling place before the closing hour or at the office of the municipal clerk or
22board of election commissioners no later than 4 p.m. on the day after the election.
23The municipal clerk or executive director shall make a record of the procedure used
24to determine the validity of each ballot cast under this section. If, prior to 4 p.m. on
25the day after the election, the municipal clerk or executive director determines that

1the individual is qualified to vote in the ward or election district where the
2individual's ballot is cast, the municipal clerk or executive director shall notify the
3board of canvassers for each municipality, special purpose district and county that
4is responsible for canvassing the election of that fact.

8thereof under s. 6.79 (2) or 6.86 (1) (ar) later appears at the polling place where the
9ballot is cast before the closing hour and provides the license or identification card
10or copy thereof, the inspectors shall remove the elector's ballot from the separate
11carrier envelope, shall note on the poll list that the elector's provisional ballot is
12withdrawn, and shall deposit the elector's ballot in the ballot box. If the inspectors
13have notified the municipal clerk or executive director of the board of election
14commissioners that the elector's ballot was cast under this section, the inspectors
15shall notify the clerk or executive director that the elector's provisional ballot is
16withdrawn.

SB567,30,2117 (c) A ballot cast under this section by an elector for whom a valid license or
18identification card or copy thereof is required under s. 6.79 (2) or 6.86 (1) (ar) shall
19not be counted unless the municipal clerk or executive director of the board of

11of absentee ballot canvassers shall take out the ballot without unfolding it or
12permitting it to be unfolded or examined. Unless the ballot is cast under s. 6.95, the
