      "title": "State Election Laws: Overview of Statutes Providing for Provisional Ballot Tabulation",
      "summary": "This report provides a summary of state statutes providing for the tabulation of provisional\nballots. \nThe first section contains summaries of District of Columbia and state provisional voting tabulation\nstatutes, organized in alphabetical order; the second section contains summaries of five state statutes\nproviding for election-day registration (also known as \"same-day registration\"), organized in\nalphabetical order; and the third section contains a summary of one state statute providing that voter\nregistration is not a requirement for voting. \n  It is important to note that although state statutes may prescribe the circumstances under which\nprovisional ballots may be counted, ongoing litigation regarding this issue is occurring in some states\nand the resulting court rulings could alter tabulation procedures in a particular jurisdiction. In\naddition, as this report provides a summary of provisional balloting state statutory provisions, for\nmore detailed and comprehensive information regarding each state's election procedures and\nregulations it is necessary to consult with the appropriate secretary of state or state board of elections.",
