§ Ind. Code § 3-12-1-9Counting voting marks; voting marks not counted; certification of voting systems that can detect voting marks

(a) A voting mark that touches a circle, an oval, or a square shall be counted as if
it were on or in the circle, oval, or square. A voting mark that partially connects a
connectable arrow shall be counted as if the voting mark completed the connection of the
arrow.
(b) A voting mark that:
(1) does not touch a circle, oval, or square; and
(2) is not on or in the circle, oval, or square;
may not be counted.
(c) For purposes of the certification of voting systems under IC 3-11, a ballot card voting
system complies with this section if the system can detect a voting mark within the circle,
oval, or square, even if manual inspection of the ballot is required to detect a voting mark that
touches only the outside edge of the circle, oval, or square.
