Simply put, the felt-tip pen that the Elections Department provides in each vote center is best at the ink dries quickly. In contrast, ballpoint pens dry much slower and can easily smear inside the ballot counting machine which could prevent the machine from counting further until it is repaired (Watch the video).
Of course, a voter may decide for themselves which style pen they would like to use as long as it is either blue or black ink.
