21-A ME Rev Stat § 780 (2011 through 125th Legis) What's This?

Subchapter 4: ABSENTEE VOTING

§780. Absentee ballots; application

A uniformed service voter or an overseas voter may request an absentee ballot as provided in section 753-A or by submitting a federal application or form requesting an absentee ballot as provided in section 783. With respect to any election for federal office, a clerk or the Secretary of State may not refuse to accept or process any otherwise valid voter registration application or absentee ballot application submitted by a uniformed service voter or an overseas voter on the grounds that the voter submitted the application more than 3 months before the election for which the application will be used. An application or request for an absentee ballot for a uniformed service voter or overseas voter that is accepted pursuant to section 753-A or section 783 remains valid for 2 years from the date of receipt of the application and entitles the voter to receive absentee ballots for all federal and state elections during that period. [2009, c. 563, §5 (AMD).]
