EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [] is old law to be omitted. LBD16120-02-8A. 11052 2 1 (d) "Military address" means the mailing address of a military voter 2 other than his or her residence address in his or her school district. 3 (e) "Appropriate school board of education" means the board of educa- 4 tion in whose jurisdiction the military voter resides as a qualified 5 voter. 6 2. A military voter may designate a preference to receive a military 7 ballot by mail, facsimile transmission or electronic mail. Such desig- 8 nation shall remain in effect until revoked or changed by the military 9 voter. If a military voter does not designate a preference, the board of 10 education shall transmit the military ballot application or military 11 ballot by mail. If a military voter designates a preference for facsim- 12 ile transmission or electronic mail but does not provide the necessary 13 facsimile number or e-mail address, the board of education shall trans- 14 mit the voter registration application, military ballot application or 15 military ballot by mail and request the omitted information. All commu- 16 nications to the military voter shall include the mailing address of the 17 board of education. 18 3. Irrespective of the preferred method of transmission designated by 19 a military voter, a military voter's original military ballot applica- 20 tion and military ballot must be returned by mail or in person. 21 4. Ballots for military voters shall be mailed or otherwise distrib- 22 uted by the board of education, in accordance with the preferred method 23 of transmission, as soon as practicable, but not later than twenty-five 24 days before any election as provided in this article, and fourteen days 25 before any election as provided in article fifty-three of this title. 26 5. The military voter shall mark the military ballot provided for in 27 this article in the same manner as an absentee ballot. After marking the 28 ballot, he or she shall fold such ballot and enclose it in the inner 29 affirmation envelope bearing the military voter's affirmation on the 30 outside of the envelope and seal the envelope. He or she shall then sign 31 the affirmation, with the blanks properly filled in. The inner affirma- 32 tion envelope containing the military ballot shall then be inserted in 33 the outer envelope addressed to the appropriate board of education, 34 which shall be mailed or personally delivered to the appropriate board 35 of education within the time limits provided by this article. 36 6.

The board of inspectors shall thereafter process such ballots in 46 the same manner as provided in sections two thousand eighteen-a and two 47 thousand eighteen-b of this article for the canvassing of absentee 48 ballots. 49 8. The board of education shall determine, three days before the first 50 day for distribution of military ballots, the names of all candidates 51 duly nominated for public office and the amendments, referenda, proposi- 52 tions and questions to be voted for on such ballots. If at a later date 53 the nomination of any candidate named on a military ballot is found 54 invalid, the ballot shall still be valid, but no vote cast for any such 55 candidate on such ballot shall be counted at the election. The failure 56 of any school board to include the name of any candidate or any proposi-A. 11052 3 1 tion or question on the military ballot shall in no way affect the 2 validity of the election with respect to the office for which the nomi- 3 nation was made or the validity of the military ballot as to any other 4 matter. 5 9. The department is authorized to take such steps and do such things 6 as, in its opinion, are necessary to make effective the provisions of 7 any other section, in order to utilize fully any federal or other facil- 8 ities in the distribution of military ballots. 9 10. The provisions of this section shall be liberally construed for 10 the purpose of providing military voters the opportunity to vote. The 11 department shall have power to adopt and promulgate regulations to 12 effectuate the provisions of this section. 13 § 2.
