N.Y. Election Law § 8-316: Ballots; mutilated or spoiled

§ 8-316. Ballots; mutilated or spoiled. If a ballot is found to be

defective or mutilated before it is delivered to the voter, its stub and

the stubs of all other ballots in the set shall be detached immediately

and placed in the box for stubs, by the clerks, or if there are no

clerks by the inspector assigned to the duty of delivering ballots, and

all the ballots of that set immediately shall be marked "cancelled", and

placed in the box for spoiled and mutilated ballots. If a voter returns

a ballot as defective, mutilated, defaced, or wrongly marked, he shall

also return all the other ballots of the set, if any, and such clerks or

inspector shall likewise remove their stubs, placing all the stubs in

the box for stubs and all the ballots of the set in the box for spoiled

or mutilated ballots, first marking the ballots "cancelled". In each

case, the voter shall receive another ballot or set of ballots, unless

not entitled thereto.
