SB884-SA1,1ms 12Section 1ms. 6.87 (4) (b) 1. of the statutes is amended to read:
SB884-SA1,11,1813 6.87 (4) (b) 1. Except as otherwise provided in s. 6.875, the an elector voting
14absentee, other than a military elector or an overseas elector, shall make and
15subscribe to the certification before one witness who is an adult U.S. citizen. A
16military elector or an overseas elector voting absentee, regardless of whether the
17elector qualifies as a resident of this state under s. 6.10, shall make and subscribe
18to the certification before one witness who is an adult but who need not be a U.S.
19citizen.
The absent elector, in the presence of the witness, shall mark the ballot in
20a manner that will not disclose how the elector's vote is cast. The elector shall then,
21still in the presence of the witness, fold the ballots so each is separate and so that the
22elector conceals the markings thereon and deposit them in the proper envelope. If
23a consolidated ballot under s. 5.655 is used, the elector shall fold the ballot so that
24the elector conceals the markings thereon and deposit the ballot in the proper
25envelope. If proof of residence under s. 6.34 is required and the document enclosed

1by the elector under this subdivision does not constitute proof of residence under s.
26.34, the elector shall also enclose proof of residence under s. 6.34 in the envelope.
3Except as provided in s. 6.34 (2m), proof of residence is required if the elector is not
4a military elector or an overseas elector and the elector registered by mail or by
5electronic application and has not voted in an election in this state. If the elector
6requested a ballot by means of facsimile transmission or electronic mail under s. 6.86
7(1) (ac), the elector shall enclose in the envelope a copy of the request which bears an

11issuing the ballot or ballots. If the envelope is mailed from a location outside the
12United States, the elector shall affix sufficient postage unless the ballot qualifies for
13delivery free of postage under federal law. Failure to return an unused ballot in a
14primary does not invalidate the ballot on which the elector's votes are cast. Return
15of more than one marked ballot in a primary or return of a ballot prepared under s.
165.655 or a ballot used with an electronic voting system in a primary which is marked
17for candidates of more than one party invalidates all votes cast by the elector for
18candidates in the primary.
