Sec. 24A-14. Damaged, defective, or unreadable ballots; duplicates. If any ballot is damaged, defective, or cannot
otherwise properly be counted by the automatic tabulating equipment, a true duplicate
copy shall be made of the ballot in the presence of witnesses and
substituted for the damaged ballot. Likewise, a duplicate ballot shall not include the invalid votes appearing on the original ballot. All
duplicate ballots shall be clearly labeled "duplicate", shall bear a serial
number which shall be registered on the damaged, defective, or otherwise unreadable ballot, and
shall be counted in lieu of the damaged, defective, or otherwise unreadable ballot.
