§ Ind. Code § 3-10-4-9Voting procedure; marking ballots; examination of ballots by secretary of state; consistency of ballots with pledge; vacating office of elector; counting and recording ballots

(a) The presidential electors, when assembled and after vacancies are filled, shall
then vote by paper ballot for President and Vice President of the United States and perform
the duties imposed upon them by the Constitution and statutes of the United States and of
Indiana.
(b) Each presidential elector shall mark the presidential elector's presidential and
vice-presidential ballots with the presidential elector's votes for the offices of President and
Vice President, respectively, along with the presidential elector's signature and the
presidential elector's legibly printed name.
(c) Except as otherwise provided by Indiana law other than this chapter, each presidential
elector shall present both completed ballots to the secretary of state, who shall examine the
ballots and accept as cast all ballots of presidential electors whose votes are consistent with
the presidential electors' pledges executed under section 1.7 or 8(c) of this chapter. Except
as otherwise provided by Indiana law other than this chapter, the secretary of state may not

presents a ballot marked in violation of the presidential elector's pledge executed under

presidential elector office shall be filled as provided in section 8 of this chapter.
(e) The secretary of state shall distribute ballots to and collect ballots from an alternate
presidential elector and repeat the process under this section of examining ballots, declaring
vacant offices as required, and recording appropriately completed ballots from the alternate
presidential electors, until all of Indiana's electoral votes have been cast and recorded.
