Use of federal write-in absentee ballot; qualification.
A. A federal qualified elector may use a federal write-in absentee ballot to vote for all offices
and ballot questions in an election.
B. In completing the federal write-in absentee ballot, the federal qualified elector may designate a candidate by writing in the name of the candidate. In a general election when voting for a
specified office, a federal qualified elector may in the alternate complete the federal write-in absentee ballot by writing in the name of a political party, in which case the ballot shall be counted
for the candidate of that political party.
C. A qualified federal write-in absentee ballot shall be processed by the canvassing board in
the same manner as a provisional ballot. A federal write-in absentee ballot from a federal qualified elector shall not be qualified if the federal qualified elector voted on any other type of ballot. A
federal write-in absentee ballot of an overseas voter shall not be qualified if the ballot is submitted
from any location in the United States.
