Write-Ins

Write-ins refer to a voting option where voters can write the name of a candidate not listed on the ballot in an election. This allows people to support individuals who may not be formally nominated or part of the main candidates. Write-ins can be used in various elections, such as local, state, and federal levels. However, the rules for write-in votes vary by jurisdiction; some places require write-in candidates to register, while others do not. Ultimately, write-ins provide voters with a way to express their preferences and ensure that their choice is counted, even if it isn't on the ballot.
