There Is a Newer Version
of
the Georgia Code
2006 Georgia Code - 21-2-383
21-2-383. (a) Ballots for use by absentee electors shall
be prepared sufficiently in advance by the superintendent and shall
be delivered to the board of registrars or absentee ballot clerk as
provided in Code Section 21-2-384. Such ballots shall be marked
'Official Absentee Ballot' and shall be in substantially the form
for ballots required by Article 8 of this chapter, except that in
counties using voting machines or direct recording electronic (DRE)
units the ballots may be in substantially the form for the ballot
labels required by Article 9 of this chapter. Every such ballot
shall have printed with other instructions thereon the
following: 'I understand that
the offer or acceptance of money or any other object of value to
vote for any particular candidate, list of candidates, issue, or
list of issues included in this election constitutes an act of
voter fraud and is a felony under Georgia law.' The form for either ballot shall be determined
and prescribed by the Secretary of State, except in municipal
primaries or elections, in which the form of absentee ballots which
follows the paper ballot format shall be determined and prescribed
by the superintendent. (b)
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Code section, direct
recording electronic voting systems may be used for casting
absentee ballots in person at a registraŕs
office or in accordance with Code Section 21-2-382, providing for
additional sites. In such cases, the absentee ballots shall be
coded in such a way that the ballot of a challenged voter can be
separated from other valid ballots at the time of tabulation until
the challenge is resolved.
