Act.

A. The Secretary of the State Election Board is the state

official responsible for implementing the Uniform Military and

Overseas Voters Act and the state’s responsibilities under the

Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act, 42 U.S.C.

Section 1973ff et seq.

B. The Secretary shall make available to covered voters

information regarding voter registration procedures for covered

voters and procedures for casting military-overseas ballots. The

Secretary may delegate the responsibility under this subsection only

to the state office designated in compliance with Section 102(b)(1)

of the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act, 42

U.S.C. Section 1973ff-1(b)(1).

C. The Secretary shall establish an electronic transmission

system through which a covered voter may apply for and receive voter

registration materials, military-overseas ballots, and other

information under this act.

D. The Secretary shall:

1. Develop standardized absentee-voting materials, including

privacy and transmission envelopes and their electronic equivalents,

authentication materials, and voting instructions, to be used with

the military-overseas ballot of a voter authorized to vote in any

jurisdiction in this state; and

2. To the extent reasonably possible, coordinate with other

states to carry out this subsection.

E. The Secretary shall prescribe the form and content of a

declaration for use by a covered voter to swear or affirm specific

representations pertaining to the voter’s identity, eligibility to

vote, status as a covered voter, and timely and proper completion of

an overseas-military ballot. The declaration must be based on the

declaration prescribed to accompany a federal write-in absentee

ballot, as modified to be consistent with this act. The Secretary

shall ensure that a form for the execution of the declaration,

including an indication of the date of execution of the declaration,

is a prominent part of all balloting materials for which the

declaration is required.
