    (1) Absentee votes may be cast on paper ballots or ballot cards or both. Absent voter ballots
 may be counted in the various voting precincts or may be counted by absent voter counting
 boards. Absentee votes cast on paper ballots may be recorded by election inspectors on ballot
 cards for counting by tabulating equipment.
    (2) In an election held under this act, absent voters' ballots may be voted and processed in
 the manner provided by this chapter.
    (3) If electronic tabulating equipment rejects an absent voter ballot due to programming
 required under section 795, the rejected ballot shall be inspected to confirm the presence of the
 error before the ballot is processed. A vote for each elective office or ballot question in which
 an error is confirmed shall not be counted.
