Line 5:
One example of an overvote would be voting for two candidates in a single race with the instruction "Vote for not more than one." [[Robert's Rules of Order]] notes that such votes are illegal: "If he votes for too many candidates for a given office, however, that particular section of the ballot is illegal, because it is not possible for the tellers to determine for whom the member desired to vote."<ref>RONR [10th ed.], p. 402, l. 8-11</ref>
 
[[Undervotes]] combined with overvotes (known as [[residual vote]]s) can be an academic indicator in evaluating the accuracy of a voting system when recording [[voter intent]].<ref>
