                                  ELECTIONS
                                  CHAPTER 10
                               ABSENTEE VOTING
    34-1007.  TRANSMISSION OF ABSENTEE BALLOTS TO POLLS. On receipt of such
absent elector's ballot or ballots, the officer receiving them shall forthwith
inclose the same, unopened in a carrier envelope endorsed with the name and
official title of such officer and the words: "absent electors' ballot to be
opened only at the polls." He shall hold the same until the delivery of the
official ballots to the judges of election of the precinct in which the
elector resides and shall deliver the ballot or ballots to the judges with
such official ballots.
    In those counties which count ballots at a central location, absentee
ballots that are received on election day may, in the discretion of the county
clerk, be retained in a secure place in the clerk's office and such ballots
shall be added to the precinct returns at the time of ballot tabulation.
