"Out of that 115 that were rejected, 96 was because that applicant was not eligible for that provisional ballot," said Cindy Woodward, an election administrative officer with the Anne Arundel County Board of Elections. Voters can be deemed ineligible for a primary provisional ballot if they registered as a party-unaffiliated voter or if they are not Annapolis residents. Other provisional ballots were not counted because the voter was not registered to vote or forgot to sign the ballot, Woodward said.
