Definition
A method of tabulating WRITE-INS, in which only write-ins for candidates already listed in the ballot are counted. The opposite method I used in some states. In Pennsylvania, for example, a write-in may be counted only for a candidate who is not listed on the ballot. See also FREE- FOR-ALL.
