Four years ago in Ohio, there were 200,000 provisional ballots cast among a total 5.7 million votes. This was the most among any state other than California. (Federal law requires states to use provisional ballots [1] when a voter's eligibility is in question or if their registration doesn't reflect a new name or address.)
Ohio tried to shorten its early voting period — until a federal court ruled otherwise.
But Ohio requires county election boards to reject provisional ballots if the ballot doesn't correspond to the voter's assigned precinct — even if it was the poll worker's mistake. (A few other states have similar rules [2], but Ohio is fighting a lawsuit right now to preserve its approach.)
