On page 4, beginning on line 35 of the amendment, after
"guaranteed))." strike all material through "secrecy." on line 38 and
insert "Service and overseas voters must be provided with instructions
and a secrecy cover sheet for returning the ballot and signed
declaration by fax or e-mail. A voted ballot and signed declaration
returned by fax or e-mail must be received by 8:00 p.m. on the day of
the election or primary."
On page 6, beginning on line 3 of the amendment, after "ballot." strike all material through "election." on line 6 and insert "Any overseas voter or service voter may return the signed declaration and voted ballot by fax or e-mail by 8:00 p.m. on the day of the primary or election, and the county auditor must use established procedures to maintain the secrecy of the ballot."
EFFECT: Removes a requirement that a service and overseas voter
waive secrecy in order to return a ballot by fax or e-mail and instead
requires:

for returning the ballot and signed declaration by fax or e-mail; and
(2) The auditor to use established procedures to maintain ballot
secrecy.
