A BILL TO BE ENTITLED

AN ACT to treat one application by a uniformed voter for an absentee ballot as an application for all absentee ballots for which the voter would be eligible during the same calendar year.

The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:

SECTION 1.  G.S. 163‑247(3) reads as rewritten:

"(3)      If a single application from an absentee uniformed voter is received by an election official, it shall be considered a valid absentee ballot request with respect to all general, primary, and runoff elections for federal, State, county, or those municipal offices in which absentee ballots are allowed under the provisions of G.S. 163‑302, held through the next two regularly scheduled general elections for federal office. during the calendar year in which the application was received. This subdivision does not apply to a special election not involving the election of candidates, unless that special election is being held on the same day as a general or primary election."

SECTION 2.  This act is effective when it becomes law and applies to any applications for absentee ballots received after the November 2010 general election.
