No, ballots in Illinois are not being widely invalidated because they were filled out with Sharpie pens. Election officials said filling out a ballot with a Sharpie is allowed, and recommended.
Connecticut ballot initiative on early voting would"remove the requirement of a certified seal from certain ballots.""Sharpie markers are the industry-recommended ballot marking devices that are used across the nation for purposes of ballot machine scans because they dry almost instantly, while ballpoint pens and pencils may smear on the ballot or the optical ballot scanner," Herrera said.
Herrera said voters are also typically instructed to place multiple sheets of ballots directly on top of one another. If a machine rejects a voter’s ballot because of bleed-through, he added, the ballot will be spoiled and the voter will simply fill out another. Dietrich pointed to a statement the Illinois State Board of Elections tweeted the morning of Election Day, Nov. 8.
