25-1130. Advance voting; ballots for question submitted election; form and instructions; envelopes; procedures. Advance voting ballots for questions submitted in statewide county elections shall be prepared by election officers according to such form as is specified by the secretary of state. The secretary of state shall specify the form of advance voting ballots for questions submitted in such detail as the secretary deems appropriate. Political party designation of the voter shall not appear on such ballots. Such ballots shall be prepared and transmitted at the same time as other advance voting ballots.

The secretary of state shall prescribe voting instructions to accompany every question submitted advance voting ballot, and when the question submitted election is also a primary or general election, such instructions may be combined with other instructions to voters. The secretary of state shall prescribe the form of advance voting ballot envelopes to be used when only a question submitted is to be voted upon. Advance voting ballots for questions submitted shall bear the same serial number as the advance voting ballot envelope used for transmission thereof.

Forms of advance voting ballot, ballot envelope and voter instructions in question submitted elections which are not statewide shall be prescribed by the county election officer in charge of such election, in conformity with any applicable provisions of law and, as nearly as practicable, in conformity with forms prescribed by the secretary of state for statewide elections.

Advance voting ballots for questions submitted shall be cast, counted, tabulated, canvassed and handled in the same manner as other advance voting ballots. Votes of advance voting voters may be challenged or objected to in question submitted elections in the same manner as in other elections.
