To be counted in the election, an absentee ballot must be postmarked on or before the election day and received by the clerk on or before 6:00 p.m. two (2) calendar days following the election. Absentee ballot envelopes received by the clerk after 6:00 p.m. two (2) days following the election shall not be opened, but shall be marked “invalid” and the date of receipt noted thereon. Such envelopes shall be retained with the other election records and destroyed with them as provided by the city’s record retention schedule. Absentee ballot envelopes shall be examined by the canvass board, whose members shall determine whether the absentee voter is qualified to vote at the election and whether the ballot has been properly cast. [Ord. 11-13 § 2.]
