You can edit the submitted vote, but I would recommend then renaming the |
| 35 |
ballot to .ballot-* and run votify --verify and votify --submit. That |
| 36 |
will catch any mistakes in the ballot. |

As Roy warned, editing the submitted ballot and not validating the final |
| 38 |
ballot, might cause it to be discarded. |
