Notwithstanding any other provisions of Chapter 163 of the General Statutes, any person eligible to vote an absentee ballot pursuant to G.S. 163‑245 shall be permitted to vote an absentee ballot pursuant to G.S. 163‑227.2 if the person has not already voted an absentee ballot which has been returned to the board of elections, and if he will not be in the county on the day of the primary or election.

In the event an absentee application or ballot has already been mailed to such person applying to vote pursuant to G.S. 163‑227.2, the board of elections shall void the application and ballot unless the voted absentee ballot has been received by the board of elections.
