The ballot is considered provisional based on if you are duly registered to vote, if your ballot is being cast in the correct precinct, and if you have or have not voted early or by mail.  Once those things are verified and your signature is verified against what is on file at the elections’ office, the canvassing board which consists of a County Judge, a County Commissioner, and the Supervisor of Elections will determine if your ballot will be tabulated.
