Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
A.  If a voter’s mistake or omission in the completion of a
document under the Uniform Military and Overseas Voters Act does not
prevent determining whether a covered voter is eligible to vote, the

mistake or omission does not invalidate the document.  Failure to
satisfy a nonsubstantive requirement, such as using paper or
envelopes of a specified size or weight, does not invalidate a
document submitted under this act.  In a write-in ballot authorized
by this act, if the intention of the voter is discernable under this
state’s uniform definition of what constitutes a vote, an
abbreviation, misspelling, or other minor variation in the form of
the name of a candidate or a political party must be accepted as a
valid vote.
B.  Notarization is not required for the execution of a document
under this act.  An authentication, other than the declaration
specified in Section 13 of this act or the declaration on the
federal postcard application and federal write-in absentee ballot,
is not required for execution of a document under this act.  The
declaration and any information in the declaration may be compared
with information on file to ascertain the validity of the document.
