If one person witnesses the signatures of more than five physically incapacitated voters, voters charged with the care of physically incapacitated persons, or emergency incapacitated voters, the Secretary shall notify the proper authorities. The absentee ballots shall be counted, however.

(e)Other suspicious activities. If there are any suspicious activities, or extraordinary activities, concerning absentee voting, the Secretary shall notify the proper authorities.
