California Regulations § 20102 Write-in Vote; No Office Indicated

⤴ Up to Article 7: Voting

Regulation Text

The name of a qualified write-in candidate shall be counted when the name is written in on a voter's ballot and no office is indicated for the candidate, or the office is incompletely indicated (e.g., "Senator" without district number), if:
(a) the candidate is a qualified write-in candidate for an office properly appearing on the voter's ballot; and
(b) no other qualified write-in candidate for any office appearing on the voter's ballot bears a name so similar to the name as written in, considering the voter's misspellings or omission of portions of the name, if any, as to leave a reasonable doubt as to the voter's intention.
