It says they will instead be considered provisional, which I thought aren't even counted often times?

At least they have to tell people the ballot has been rejected, and they have a chance to remedy it.

My ballot gets rejected. I am notified. I prove it's me. My vote is then counted. It only is provisional if you don't contest it.
