Ballots that have been mutilated, spoiled, marked with more than one choice or which do not clearly reveal the intent of the voter, as well as mail ballots that are returned without the voter's signature or other required identifying mark on the mail envelope may be determined to be "void ballots" by the executive director. A void ballot may not be counted as favoring any alternative proposition appearing on the ballot. The executive director shall liberally view ballots in favor of validity.
