California Regulations § 20104 Write-in Vote; Misspelled or Incomplete Name, Office Omitted

⤴ Up to Article 7: Voting

Regulation Text

The misspelled or incomplete name of a qualified write-in candidate written in on a ballot shall be counted for the candidate even though the office for which the candidate has qualified is omitted or incompletely indicated on the voter's ballot, when:
(a) the name as written bears a reasonable resemblance to the qualified candidate's name; and
(b) no other write-in candidate qualified for any office properly appearing on the voter's ballot has a name that is so similar to the name as written in as to leave a reasonable doubt as to the voter's intention.
