Summary

Absentee voting; alternative procedures to expedite counting preparations.  Authorizes electoral board to give general registrar the option to expedite preparations for counting optical scan absentee ballots returned by mail. The board can authorize verifying completion of the required affirmation, marking pollbook, and inserting ballots in optical scan equipment in presence of officers of election representing both parties without initiating any vote counts. The measure requires registrars who discover missing affirmations more than two weeks before election day to attempt to notify voters to give them an opportunity to correct the deficiency.
