How voter signature-curing works

SHARE

One of those safeguards is that a voter must sign a ballot and then have the signature verified.

Deputy Secretary of State for Elections Wayne Thorley talked with The Nevada Independent’s Joey Lovato to explain how to “cure” a signature error for a mail-in ballot.
