If you vote at a location other than your designated voting location, your ballot will be challenged. This does not mean that your vote won’t count – it just means that your ballot will be placed in a special envelope before being put into the ballot box. After the polls close, but before the votes are counted, the NLRB will confirm that you were an eligible voter and that you did not vote multiple times.

If you voted at only one polling location, even if it was not your assigned polling location, your ballot will be opened and counted. It will be mixed together with the other ballots so that your vote will still be completely secret.
