Action | Action Making an Illegible or Missing Postmark an Immaterial Omission on Absentee Ballot Envelopes |

Save one exception, I can find no reason to allow ANY absentee ballots to be cast without a valid postmark. The one exception would the absentee ballot is hand-delivered to the registrar or the polling place by closing time on election day.
Voters have 45 days (at least) to cast votes by several different methods. I can find no justification for a yet another rule that infringes upon the sanctity and integrity of the vote.
This regulation should be repealed and if not, then a hearing must be held.
Thank you
