MESA automatically calculates absentee ballot quantities at ten percent of the total number of registered voters. The Secretary shall consider such factors as the type of election, the interest displayed by voters and previous experience with similar elections to determine the number of absentee ballots to be ordered.

(d) Unless otherwise authorized by the Secretary of the State Election Board, absentee ballots shall be printed by precinct and bound in books of 100 ballots each. However, if fewer than 25 absentee ballots are needed for a precinct, the ballots for that precinct shall be bound in a book of 50 ballots.
