§ 3-12-1-1 — Intent of voter primary factor to consider in determining voter's choice on ballot
Subject to sections 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 9.5, and 13 of
this chapter, the primary factor to be considered in determining a
voter's choice on a ballot is the intent of the voter. If the voter's intent
can be determined on the ballot or on part of the ballot, the vote shall
be counted for the affected candidate or candidates or on the public
question. However, if it is impossible to determine a voter's choice of
candidates on a part of a ballot or vote on a public question, then the
voter's vote concerning those candidates or public questions may not
be counted.
