Privacy Concerns over the Casting of Absentee Ballots
Education Law provides that an envelope containing a returned absentee ballot is not to be opened until a determination is made that there is no reason for rejecting the ballot, which could happen if, for example, the voter fails to provide the signature required by law to appear on the envelope containing the ballot. Once such a determination is made and the envelope opened, the ballot is withdrawn without unfolding and deposited into the proper ballot box. Absentee ballots must remain folded until they are actually counted. As a result, at the time of counting, the ballots will not be linked to the envelope in which they were returned and the voter’s privacy is ensured. This is the same process that has always been used to count absentee ballots at school district elections and votes.
