11still in the presence of the witness, fold the ballots so each is separate and so that the

14the elector conceals the markings thereon and deposit the ballot in the proper
15envelope. If proof of residence is required Except as authorized in par. (b) and

5affix sufficient postage unless the ballot qualifies for delivery free of postage under
6federal law. Failure to return an unused ballot in a primary does not invalidate the
7ballot on which the elector's votes are cast. Return of more than one marked ballot
8in a primary or return of a ballot prepared under s. 5.655 or a ballot used with an
9electronic voting system in a primary which is marked for candidates of more than
10one party invalidates all votes cast by the elector for candidates in the primary.
