en · 1,619 chars · active
A. In the event an absentee ballot is mutilated, defaced or
damaged in a manner that it cannot be read by the voting device and
thus not counted during the counting process, then two members of
the county election board of different political party affiliations
or two members of an absentee voting board under the supervision of
the county election board shall be authorized to mark a substitute
ballot in identical fashion, insofar as is possible. Once so
marked, the substitute ballot shall be entered for counting into the
voting device. A written record of such action shall be made by the
two county election board members.
B. In the event of an absentee ballot that was delivered
electronically to a voter as described in Section 14-118 of this
title, or an absentee ballot that was received from a voter by
facsimile device as described by Section 14-118.1 of this title, and
the ballot cannot be read by the voting device, then two members of
the county election board of different political party affiliations
or two members of an absentee voting board under the supervision of
the county election board shall be authorized to mark a substitute
ballot in identical fashion, insofar as is possible. Once so
marked, the substitute ballot shall be entered for counting into the
voting device. A written record of such action shall be made by the
two county election board members.
C. In the event there is a disagreement about how a substitute
ballot should be marked for any race, the matter shall be brought
immediately before the full county election board, which shall vote
to decide how to mark the ballot.
