There is a new law requiring the registrar to notify you of a problem and to provide you an opportunity to cure it.

I would bet that this would apply to naked ballots (not in the inner sealed envelope) and unsigned or "bad signature" envelopes. I don't think that they are allowed to tie the actual ballot to a name, so issues with how you marked the ballot itself are likely not cureable.
