Ballot curing is the process where a ballot can be verified if it were flagged for some reason. Curing means that the County Clerk was unable to verify the voter’s signature on their ballot envelope.

Counties are required to make a reasonable effort to contact those voters if they have a phone number or email on file. A ballot may need to be cured if the signature does not match the signature the state has, or required information is incomplete or unclear.

The deadline for voters to cure their ballot is the 6th day after Election, November 9th, 2026.
