        53.20  SPECIAL PRECINCT ESTABLISHED.
         1.  There is established in each county a special precinct to be
      known as the absentee ballot and special voters precinct.  Its
      jurisdiction shall be conterminous with the borders of the county,
      for the purposes specified by sections 53.22 and 53.23, and the
      requirement that precincts not cross the boundaries of legislative
      districts shall not be applicable to it.  The commissioner shall draw
      up an election board panel for the special precinct in the manner
      prescribed by section 49.15, having due regard for the nature and
      extent of the duties required of members of the election board and
      the election officers to be appointed from the panel.
         2. a.  Results from the special precinct shall be reported
      separately from the results of the ballots cast at the polls on
      election day.  The commissioner shall for general elections also
      report the results of the special precinct by the resident precincts
      of the voters who cast absentee and provisional ballots.  For all
      other elections, the commissioner may report the results of the
      special precinct by the resident precincts of the voters who cast
      absentee and provisional ballots, or may report the absentee results
      as a single precinct.
         b.  For the general election and for any election in which the
      commissioner determines in advance of the election to report the
      results of the special precinct by the resident precincts of the
      voters who cast absentee and provisional ballots, the commissioner
      shall prepare a separate absentee ballot style for each precinct in
      the county and shall program the voting system to produce reports by
      the resident precincts of the voters.
