The substitute amendment also makes other various changes in the laws
pertaining to absentee voting. Most of the changes relate to absentee voting by
military and overseas electors of this state. State law contains different definitions
of the terms "military elector" and "overseas elector." One set of definitions mirrors
the definitions found in federal law. Under federal law, a "military elector" includes:
1) a member of a uniformed service on active duty who, by reason of that duty, is
absent from the residence where the member is otherwise qualified to vote; 2) a
member of the merchant marine who, by reason of service in the merchant marine,
is absent from the residence where the member is otherwise qualified to vote; and
3) the spouse or dependent of any such member who, by reason of the duty or service
of the member, is absent from the residence where the person is otherwise qualified
to vote. The federal definition of "overseas elector" includes an elector who resides
outside the United States and who is qualified under federal law to vote in elections
for national office in this state because the elector last resided in this state
immediately prior to the elector's departure from the United States. The other set
of definitions applies for certain state purposes and includes all the persons who are
included in the federal definitions but also includes other persons. The state
definition of the term "military elector" includes: 1) members of a uniformed service
who are not on active duty or who are not absent from their residences by reason of
their service or both; 2) members of the merchant marine who are not absent from
their residences; 3) civilian employees of the United States and civilians officially

attached to a uniformed service who are serving outside the United States; 4) Peace
Corps volunteers; and 5) spouses and dependents of these persons who are residing
with or accompanying them. The state definition of "overseas elector" includes
children of persons who qualify as overseas electors under federal law who are U.S.
citizens at least 18 years of age, who are not disqualified from voting in this state,
and who are not residents of this state. Significant provisions of the substitute
amendment include:
1. Under current law, any qualified absentee elector may request an absentee
ballot by means of electronic mail or facsimile transmission. If an elector so requests,
the elector must mail with his or her voted absentee ballot a copy of an absentee ballot
application containing his or her original signature. In addition, an absentee elector
may request that his or her absentee ballot be transmitted to him or her by electronic
mail or facsimile transmission and a municipal clerk or board of election
commissioners may transmit the ballot as requested. This substitute amendment
provides that the municipal clerk or board of election commissioners must transmit
the ballot if the clerk or board receives a valid request.
2. Current law permits a military or overseas elector, as defined in state law,
to cast a vote in any general election in which a federal office is to be filled by writing
in the name of a candidate on a blank absentee ballot form prescribed by the U.S.
government and returning the ballot to the appropriate municipal clerk or board of
election commissioners. This substitute amendment permits a military elector, as
defined by state law, to cast such a ballot at any election, including any primary
election, at which a federal, state, or local office is to be filled and permits an overseas
elector, as defined by state law, to cast such a ballot at any election, including any
primary election, at which a federal office is to be filled.
3. This substitute amendment directs the Government Accountability Board
(GAB), with the assistance of county and municipal clerks and boards of election
commissioners, to designate at least one freely accessible means of electronic
communication which shall be used to: 1) permit a military or overseas elector, as
defined by federal law, to request a voter registration or absentee ballot application
and to indicate whether he or she wishes to receive the application electronically or
by mail; and 2) permit a municipal clerk or board of election commissioners to
transmit an application to a military or overseas elector, as defined by federal law,
electronically or by mail, as requested by the elector, together with related voting,
balloting and election information. The substitute amendment also directs GAB,
with the assistance of county and municipal clerks and boards of elections
commissioners, to maintain a freely accessible system whereby a military or
overseas elector, as defined by federal law, who casts an absentee ballot may
ascertain whether the ballot has been received by the appropriate municipal clerk
or board. No similar provisions exist currently.
4. Currently, an absentee ballot cast by an elector is void unless it is received
at the polling place for the elector's residence by 8 p.m. on election night. However,
state law provides that if an elector is a military elector, as defined by federal law,
the elector has an additional ten days after the general election and seven days after
the September primary for the elector's ballot to be received by his or her

municipality if the ballot is postmarked by election day. This substitute amendment
extends a similar ten-day dispensation to military electors, as defined by federal law,
who are voting in the presidential preference primary or a special federal election.
5. Currently, an elector who is a military elector, as defined by state law, or an
overseas elector, as defined by state law, and who applies for an absentee ballot no
later than 30 days before an election may cast a blank write-in ballot at that election
in lieu of the official printed ballot, for any candidates for federal office whose offices
are contested at that election. The ballot is valid only if it is submitted from a location
outside the United States. This substitute amendment permits such an elector to
cast a blank write-in absentee ballot after official printed ballots become available
if he or she applies for an absentee ballot no later than the latest time permitted for
application for an absentee ballot under state law. The substitute amendment also
permits a military elector to cast such a ballot even if the ballot is submitted from
a location inside the United States, including the elector's permanent residence.
6. Currently, GAB must prescribe uniform instructions for absentee voters.
This substitute amendment provides that the instructions must include the specific
means of electronic communication that absentee voters may use to file an
application for an absentee ballot, to request a voter registration form, or to change
their registrations.
Appointment of special registration deputies
Currently, GAB or the municipal clerk or board of election commissioners of any
municipality may appoint special registration deputies to assist qualified electors in
completing their voter registration forms prior to the close of registration at locations
other than the office of GAB, the office of a municipal clerk or board of election
commissioners, or a polling place. Registration forms that are obtained by a special
registration deputy are treated in the same manner as registration forms that are
received by mail. Any qualified elector of this state may qualify to serve as a special
registration deputy. A deputy who is appointed by a municipality may register any
qualified elector of the municipality and a deputy who is appointed by the board may
register any qualified elector of this state. GAB or a municipal clerk or board of
election commissioners may revoke the appointment of an individual for cause, and
no individual whose appointment is revoked is eligible for reappointment. This
substitute amendment discontinues appointment and revocation of special
registration deputies by GAB.
Proof of residence by students
Currently, certain electors are required to present proof of residence when
voting in an election. In order to be valid, any document submitted as proof of
residence must contain the current and complete residential address of the
document holder, except that the law permits a university, college, or technical
college fee or identification card that contains a photograph of the cardholder to be
used as proof of residence even if the document does not contain an address if the
university, college, or technical college, that issued the card provides a list of students
who reside in housing sponsored by the university, college, or technical college to the
municipal clerk or board of election commissioners together with the addresses of the
students. This substitute amendment deletes this exception, effective for elections

held in 2015, thereby requiring students to use an identification card that contains
a current and complete residential address or to present some other form of proof of
residence authorized by law. In addition, effective for elections held on the day that
the substitute amendment becomes law, the substitute amendment deletes the
option of using a fee card alone as proof of residence and provides that a student who
uses an identification card as proof of residence must present both the identification
card and a fee payment receipt that contains the name of the person to whom it was
issued and that is dated not earlier than nine months before the date of the election
at which the receipt is presented.
Voter registration information
This substitute amendment requires an elector who registers to vote on or after
the day the substitute amendment becomes law to provide, in addition to his or her
current residence location as presently required, the location of his or her previous
residence immediately before moving to his or her current residence location.
Voting residence
Currently, the voting residence of a person is the place where the person's
habitation is fixed, without any present intent to move, and to which, when absent,
the person intends to return, as evidenced by the person's actions, if any. This
substitute amendment creates examples of factors that may be considered in
determining voting residence, including business pursuits, employment, income
sources, residence for income or other tax purposes, residence of parents or any
spouse or children, locations of real or personal property, location of any homestead
for which an income tax credit is elected, and motor vehicle registrations.
Access to voter registration list
Currently, the statewide voter registration list is open to public inspection.
However, only authorized election officials may view certain personal information in
the list. This substitute amendment permits a municipal clerk or board of election
commissioners to provide a law enforcement agency of the federal government or any
state or local government with access to this personal information to be used for law
enforcement purposes. The substitute amendment also permits GAB to provide this
personal information to a subunit of the state government of another state to be used
for official purposes.
Assisting electors in voting
Currently, an elector who cannot read or write or has difficulty reading, writing,
or understanding English or due to a disability is unable to mark a ballot may be
assisted by another elector of his or her choice, with certain exceptions. The assistant
must certify on the back of the assisted elector's ballot that it was marked with his
or her assistance. The election officials must also enter the name and address of the
assisting elector on the poll list. This substitute amendment deletes the requirement
for an assisting elector to make a certification.
Revision of registration list
Currently, municipal clerks and boards of election commissioners must enter
registration changes received on the date of an election in the statewide voter
registration system within 30 days after the date of that election. This substitute

amendment permits these updates to be entered within 45 days after a general
(November) election and also permits the legal counsel of GAB, upon request of a
clerk or board, to permit the clerk or board to enter changes received on the date of
the general election within 60 days after the date of that election.
