§ 8-410. Absentee voting; method of. The absentee voter shall mark an
absentee ballot as provided for paper ballots or ballots prepared for
counting by ballot counting machines. Such absentee voter shall make no
mark or writing whatsoever upon the ballot, except as above prescribed,
and shall see that it bears no such mark or writing. Such absentee voter
shall make no mark or writing whatsoever on the outside of the ballot.
In cases where the express intent of the voter is unambiguous, any stray
marks or writing shall not be a basis for voiding a ballot. After
marking the ballot or ballots such absentee voter shall fold each such
ballot and enclose them in the envelope and seal the envelope. Such
absentee voter shall then take and subscribe the oath on the envelope,
with blanks properly filled in. The envelope, containing the ballot or
ballots, shall then be mailed or delivered to the board of elections of
the county or city of such absentee voter's residence or deposited in a
ballot drop box established by the board of elections of the county or
city of the voter's residence.
