The Michigan Election Law prescribes the kind of marks on a ballot that are considered valid or invalid, thus determining whether an elector's vote may be counted. While many voting precincts use voting machine/punch card ballots, sometimes precincts use paper ballots, which require the voter to make a mark on the ballot to indicate his or her vote. The Election Law specifies that crosses or check marks are to be used, and that those marks must be placed in a particular position to be considered valid. A cross, whose intersection is within or on the line of the proper circle or square, or a check mark, whose angle is within a circle or square, is valid. It has been pointed out that some voters simply fill-in the circle or square, which by the provisions in the Election Law makes their vote invalid, even though they clearly have indicated their choice. It has been suggested that the Election Law be amended to allow fill-in marks on a ballot to be accepted as a valid vote.
