                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

APPLICATION FOR ABSENTEE BALLOTS FOR MULTIPLE ELECTIONS FOR UNIFORMED AND
OVERSEAS VOTERS (§ 24.2-703)

Any person who is eligible for a military-overseas ballot as defined in §
24.2-452 may file a single application to receive ballots for all elections in
which he is eligible to vote absentee. The application shall be on a federal
postcard application. An application from any person who is already registered
or who is eligible for late registration under § 24.2-419 that is received by
the general registrar no later than 5:00 p.m. on the eleventh day prior to the
election shall be considered a standing request for absentee ballots through
December 31 of the year following the calendar year of the date of the
application or another shorter period the voter specifies. In the event that a
second or subsequent federal postcard application is received from a voter, any
previous applications shall be superseded and the duration of the most recently
received application shall apply.
		The general registrar shall retain the application and process the
applicant&#8217;s request for an absentee ballot for each election in accordance
with procedures established by the State Board. The applicant shall specify by
party designation the primary ballots he is requesting.
		If an official reply to the application or an absentee ballot sent to the
applicant is returned as undeliverable, no other ballots shall be sent. No
ballot shall be sent to the applicant, and no voted ballot received from the
applicant shall be valid, (i) for any election held after the voter has notified
the registrar that the voter no longer wishes to be registered or (ii) after the
registrar has received notification that the voter has registered to vote in
another state.
