Ind. Code § 3-12-1-4 (2026).
Text
(a)The whole ballot is void if a voter does any
act extrinsic to the ballot, such as enclosing any paper or other article
in the folded ballot, with the intent to enable a person to determine that
the voter cast the ballot.
(b)An erasure by a voter does not make the whole ballot void unless
made with the intent to enable a person to determine who cast the
ballot, but it does not register a vote for the elected office, political
party office, or public question for which it is made.
