§ 293D.530. Mistake, omission or noncompliance with nonessential requirement by covered voter in completion of document does not invalidate document in certain circumstances

If a covered voter's mistake or omission in the completion of a document under this

chapter does not prevent determining whether a covered voter is eligible to vote,

the mistake or omission does not invalidate the document. Failure to satisfy a nonessential requirement, including, without limitation, using

paper or envelopes of a specified size or weight, does not invalidate any document

submitted under this chapter. In any write-in ballot authorized by this chapter, if the intention of the covered

voter is discernable under this State's uniform definition of what constitutes a vote,

as required by the Help America Vote Act of 2002, 52 U.S.C. § 21081(a)(6) , an abbreviation, misspelling or other minor variation in the form of the name of

a candidate or a political party must be accepted as a valid vote.
