Returning an Array of pointers - c++

Question

I have to finish a prompt tonight for my coding class, and I believe I am writing this incorrectly. I have reviewed other stackoverflow answers, but I still lack the understanding necessary to correctly solve this. This is part of a bigger project, so I have included all code in case another function is causing this error, but in my testing only the Ballot class is giving me errors.
In getVote, if the parameter is within the used portion of the array,
return the Voter pointer that corresponds with that position.
This is supposed to be tested with:
Ballot ballot1("WI-643UWO");
const Vote *vote3 = ballot1.getVote(2);
cout << vote3 << "\n";

Any help would be appreciated - I am unsure where I am messing up here. I seem to be getting a lot of read access violation errors, but we haven't touched on debugging, so I'm not necessarily sure how to identify what I did wrong. Furthermore, my functions did seem to work initially until I tried fixing it, and now it gives me a read-error almost instantly, which is concerning. And lastly - I am new to pointers, so there is a very high chance I messed up there. Thanks for any advice.
