Yes. Under the following circumstances, the election officials must mark the envelope containing a mail-in ballot as “defective”:
Within three business days of the clerk receiving your ballot, the election officials must determine if it is defective. If so, on the next business day they must notify you that your ballot has been rejected, the reason it is considered defective, and how you can correct the error. You will have until the closing of the polls on Election Day to correct the error so your ballot will be counted.
Beginning five business days before the election, the clerk is not required to mail a notice to you if your ballot is defective. In such case, the clerk must make a reasonable effort to provide notice to you as soon as possible using any contact information for you, other than your mailing address, that is shown in the voter checklist. The clerk must also record the ballot as defective in the online election management system not later than 24 hours after it is decided your ballot is defective.
