Mich. Admin. Code R. 168.783 - Hanging chads
Rule 13.
(1) A
ballot card with a hanging chad shall be processed by not less than 2 election
inspectors of differing political party preference.
(2) A ballot card with a hanging chad shall
be processed as follows:
(a) When a chad is
found attached to the card by 1 or 2 corners, the chad shall be removed by the
inspector and the ballot card placed with the other ballot cards to be
tabulated.
(b) When a chad is found
attached to the card by 3 corners, the number not punched shall be circled on
the original card. The original ballot card shall then be placed in the
envelope for "ORIGINAL BALLOT CARDS FOR WHICH DUPLICATES HAVE BEEN MADE FOR ANY
REASON" and the duplicated ballot card, if made, placed with the other ballot
cards to be tabulated. A chad hanging by 3 corners may be covered with a piece
of correction tape instead of being duplicated. The original ballot card, after
being corrected, shall be placed with the other ballot cards to be
tabulated.
