Morgan County Election Board rejects unsigned absentee ballot
Summary
The board unanimously rejected an absentee ballot May 15 after the voter failed to return a required ABS-18A signature form. Election officials said the notice was sent and no contact had been received from the voter.
The Morgan County Election Board voted unanimously on May 15 to reject an absentee ballot after the voter failed to return a required ABS-18A notice of missing signature. Secretary Tammy Parker moved to reject the ballot; Vice Chairman LeAnne Horn seconded and the board approved the motion.
Board members said staff mailed the ABS-18A, the Affidavit of Unsigned Absentee Ballot and the Pro-9 provisional voting notice and instructions; as of the meeting "we have not received that form or been contacted by the voter." The board treated the absence of the signed ABS-18A as sufficient grounds for rejection under the office's absentee-ballot procedures.
The board recorded the formal motion to reject the ballot and confirmed the outcome with the routine phrasing, "all in favor, no one opposed, motion passed." No additional remedies or appeals were reported at the meeting.
