The Marion County Election Board is refuting a false online claim that a ballot can be disqualified if it is marked by anyone other than the voter.

In fact, the ballots MUST contain two sets of initials, made by bi-partisan poll workers, in a designated space on the back of the ballot card. This is true for all ballots cast in Indiana, including in-person early voting, vote-by-mail absentee, and Election Day.

“Ballots are not disqualified or segregated for having marks or initials on them,” said Marion County Clerk Kate Sweeney Bell. “These online rumors are likely started by bad-faith actors and research suggests they could be coming from foreign operatives.”

Voters who want to verify online claims should call our office at (317) 327-5100 or visit Vote.Indy.gov/ for reliable information.
