Section 230:30-7-6.2 - Designation of in-person absentee polling place

(a) The Secretary of the County Election Board shall designate the location of the in-person absentee polling place. The in-person absentee polling place shall not be required to be located within the physical confines of the County Election Board office. However, it shall be located as near the County Election Board office as is practicable. The in-person Absentee Voting Board members must have access either to the Central File or to a computer with access to the Internet and the MESA software to verify that applicants for in-person absentee ballots are registered voters. The in-person absentee polling place shall be subject to the same requirements for accessibility as a regular precinct polling place. Only one in-person absentee polling place shall be designated for an election, except that the Secretary of a County Election Board in a county with 25,000 or more registered voters or with an area in excess of 1,500 square miles may designate more than one in-person absentee polling place as outlined in (b) of this Section. More than one in-person Absentee Voting Board may be on duty at an in-person absentee polling place during the hours of voting.

(b) The Secretary of the County Election Board in any county with 25,000 or more registered voters or having a total area of 1,500 square miles or more may, with the approval of the Secretary of the State Election Board, designate additional in-person absentee polling places within the county. The Secretary of the County Election Board in such county shall submit a written request for the approval of the State Election Board Secretary for one or more additional in-person absentee polling places for one or more specific election dates.
