§ § 16.1-07-29Use of voter's electronic mail address.

1. A covered voter who provides an electronic mail address to a local election official may
request that the voter's application for a military-overseas ballot be considered a
standing request for electronic delivery of a ballot for all elections held through
December thirty-first of the year following the calendar year of the date of the
application or another shorter period the voter specifies. An election official shall
provide a military-overseas ballot to a voter who makes a request for each election to
which the request is applicable. A covered voter entitled to receive a military-overseas
ballot for a primary election under this subsection also is entitled to receive a
military-overseas ballot for the general election.
2. An electronic mail address provided by a covered voter is a confidential record. An
election official may use the address only to communicate with the voter about the
voting process, including transmitting military-overseas ballots and election materials if
the voter has requested electronic transmission, and verifying the voter's mailing
address and physical location, as needed.
