16-543. Application for ballot; United States service

Any absent uniformed services voter or overseas voter as defined in the uniformed and overseas citizens absentee voting act of 1986 (P.L. P#L#99-410); 42 United States Code section 1973) may request an early ballot with a federal postcard application that contains both an early voter registration application and an early ballot application. Upon receipt of such application, the county recorder or other officer in charge of elections shall determine whether or not the elector is registered. If the applicant is so registered, the recorder or other officer in charge of elections shall forward to him an official early ballot. If the applicant is not registered, and the request is for a ballot for use in a county election but the federal postcard application is complete, the recorder shall forward an official early ballot to the applicant. If the applicant is not registered to vote and the federal postcard application is not used or complete, the recorder shall forward an affidavit of registration as provided in section 16-103 and shall at the same time forward to the unregistered applicant an official early ballot and affidavit.
