    If the name of the candidate is “Claudia de la Cruz” and someone writes “Claudia Cruz” instead. Does their vote get burnt?

    In most countries in Europe an improperly filled ballot becomes void. In the US, iirc, improperly filled ballots or those that are hard to read are sent to a committee where two separate people try to determine voter intent. If someone writes “Claudia Cruz” instead of “Claudia de la Cruz”, I’m sure the committee would recognise for whom the vote is meant.
