AB7-ASA2, s. 65 23Section 65. 6.87 (3) (d) of the statutes is amended to read:
AB7-ASA2,41,1924 6.87 (3) (d) A municipal clerk may shall, if the clerk is reliably informed by an
25absent elector of a facsimile transmission number or electronic mail address where

1the elector can receive an absentee ballot, transmit a facsimile or electronic copy of
2the absent elector's ballot to that elector in lieu of mailing under this subsection if,
3in the judgment of the clerk, the time required to send the ballot through the mail
4may not be sufficient to enable return of the ballot by the time provided under sub.
5(6)
. An elector may receive an absentee ballot under this subsection only if the elector
6has filed a valid application for the ballot under s. 6.86 (1). If the clerk transmits an
7absentee ballot under this paragraph to an absent elector electronically, the clerk
8shall also transmit a facsimile or electronic copy of the text of the material that
9appears on the certificate envelope prescribed in sub. (2), together with instructions
10prescribed by the board. The instructions shall require the absent elector to make
11and subscribe to the certification as required under sub. (4) (b) and to enclose the
12absentee ballot in a separate envelope contained within a larger envelope, that shall
13include the completed certificate. The elector shall then affix sufficient postage
14unless the absentee ballot qualifies for mailing free of postage under federal free
15postage laws and shall mail the absentee ballot to the municipal clerk. Except as
16authorized in s. 6.97 (2), an absentee ballot received under this paragraph from an
17elector who receives the ballot electronically
shall not be counted unless it is cast in
18the manner prescribed in this paragraph and sub. (4) and in accordance with the
19instructions provided by the board.
AB7-ASA2, s. 66 20Section 66. 6.87 (4) of the statutes is renumbered 6.87 (4) (b) 1. and amended
21to read:
AB7-ASA2,43,322 6.87 (4) (b) 1. Except as otherwise provided in s. 6.875, the elector voting
23absentee shall make and subscribe to the certification before one witness who is an
24adult U.S. citizen. The absent elector, in the presence of the witness, shall mark the
25ballot in a manner that will not disclose how the elector's vote is cast. The elector

1shall then, still in the presence of the witness, fold the ballots so each is separate and
2so that the elector conceals the markings thereon and deposit them in the proper
3envelope. If a consolidated ballot under s. 5.655 is used, the elector shall fold the
4ballot so that the elector conceals the markings thereon and deposit the ballot in the
5proper envelope. If proof of residence is required Except as authorized in subds. 2.
6to 5. and s. 6.875 (6) and notwithstanding s. 343.43 (1) (f), if the elector has not
7enclosed a copy of his or her proof of identification with his or her application, the
8elector shall enclose a copy of the proof of identification in the manner provided in
9sub. (1) in the envelope, unless the elector is a military elector or an overseas elector
10or the elector has a confidential listing under s. 6.47 (2). If proof of residence under
11s. 6.34 is required and the document enclosed by the elector under this subdivision
12does not constitute proof of residence under s. 6.34
, the elector shall also enclose proof
13of residence under s. 6.34 in the envelope. Proof of residence is required if the elector
14is not a military elector or an overseas elector, as defined in s. 6.34 (1), and the elector
15registered by mail and has not voted in an election in this state. If the elector
16requested a ballot by means of facsimile transmission or electronic mail under s. 6.86
17(1) (ac), the elector shall enclose in the envelope a copy of the request which bears an
18original signature of the elector. The elector may receive assistance under sub. (5).
19The return envelope shall then be sealed. The witness may not be a candidate. The
20envelope shall be mailed by the elector, or delivered in person, to the municipal clerk
21issuing the ballot or ballots. If the envelope is mailed from a location outside the
22United States, the elector shall affix sufficient postage unless the ballot qualifies for
23delivery free of postage under federal law. Failure to return an unused ballot in a
24primary does not invalidate the ballot on which the elector's votes are cast. Return
25of more than one marked ballot in a primary or return of a ballot prepared under s.

15.655 or a ballot used with an electronic voting system in a primary which is marked
2for candidates of more than one party invalidates all votes cast by the elector for
3candidates in the primary.
