Best Answer

An over vote occurs when one votes for more than the maximum number of selections allowed in a contest.[1] The result is a spoilt vote which is not included in the final tally.

One example of an over vote 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."
