State Board of Elections MUST adhere to the law. Postmarks MUST be preserved!
Vote NO to a proposed regulation that would:
"Permit absentee ballots to be delivered to the Office of Elections by Noon on Friday after Election Day with no proof that they had been submitted on or before Election Day."
A return envelope for an absentee ballot is required by law to have a postmark by 7PM on Election Day. Absentee ballot return envelopes MUST have a proper postmark verifying that the absentee ballots were returned legitimately and on time.
The Board of Elections, does NOT have the authority to eliminate this legal requirement.
Preserve the Integrity of our election!
