all federal qualified electors who by that date submit a valid military-overseas ballot application.
B. The county clerk shall transmit a ballot and balloting materials as soon as practicable when

election and before absentee ballots are transmitted to other voters pursuant to the Absent Voter
Act [Chapter 1, Article 6 NMSA 1978].
C. The county clerk shall transmit a ballot and balloting materials in accordance with the procedures for processing of all other absentee ballot applications for that jurisdiction when the ballot

the most reasonable expedited means of delivery for a ballot and balloting materials for a federal
qualified elector who does not request secured electronic transmission.
