18. If any voter to whom any official emergency ballot has been handed spoils or renders the same unfit for use, the voter shall return the emergency ballot and the pre-punched single-hole plain white envelope to a district board member. The voter shall be furnished with another emergency ballot and envelope. No more than two official emergency ballots shall be furnished to a voter, except at the discretion of the board members.

The district board members shall preserve each spoiled emergency ballot and place that ballot in the pre-punched single-hole plain white envelope and the district board member shall write “SPOILED” across both the front and back of the envelope. On the “SPOILED” white envelope each district board member shall sign and date the signature of the member. Immediately thereafter, the “SPOILED” white envelope shall be sealed and placed in the emergency ballot box.
