distinguishing mark

distinguishing mark
Birthmark, scar, or other mark of identification; such a mark on a ballot, whether letter, figure, character, cut corner, or mere crease, as shows an intention on the part of the voter to distinguish his particular ballot from others of its class. A distinguishing mark invalidates a ballot, since it furnishes a means of evading the law as to the secrecy of the ballot. 26 Am J2d Elect § 265.
