A provisional ballot is issued when there is a question of an individual’s eligibility to vote. Often, this is because the person is not on the official list of registered voters when they are attempting to cast a ballot in a particular election. Once cast, provisional ballots are kept separate from other ballots and are not tabulated until the eligibility of the voter is confirmed within a certain time after Election Day. Provisional ballots where the voter is determined to be ineligible are rejected and not counted. HAVA also requires state or local election officials to provide a free access system, such as a toll-free phone number or website, for people to check if their provisional ballot was counted and if it was not, why not."
