There were three provisional ballots that were not disqualified and not outcome determinative. The provisional ballot cover forms for these three ballots will be posted on the CLC website. A rough scan is attached.
Redacted versions of the provisional ballot cover forms for the two ballots that were included in the count will also be posted on the CLC website. A rough scan can be found here. Because the IAC determined that secrecy of the ballot was the paramount value, the item redacted on the cover forms is the voter's name.
With this announcement, the IAC has completed its work, and, having discharged its obligations under the order of the Compliance Review Commission, will cease operating. Anyone seeking further review should consult the Procedural Rules of the Compliance Review Commission.
