(a) This section applies to a voter voting by an
absentee ballot that:
(1) is defective and ordered corrected under IC 3-11-2-16;
(2) includes a candidate for election to office who:
(A) ceases to be a candidate; and
(B) is succeeded by a candidate selected under IC 3-13-1 or IC 3-13-2; or
(3) is presented and surrendered at:
(A) the office of the circuit court clerk;
(B) the office of the board of elections and registration;
(C) a satellite office of a board established under IC 3-11-10-26.3; or
(D) a vote center established as a satellite office under IC 3-11-18.1-4(15);
in a sealed envelope and signed by the voter containing an
absentee ballot previously mailed to the voter with a request by
the voter for a replacement absentee ballot under this section to
cast at the office or vote center.
(b) Through the last day before the election day, an absentee voter
may recast the ballot during the period specified by IC 3-11-10-26. To
obtain a replacement ballot, the absentee voter must present a written
request to the county election board for a replacement ballot. The voter
may submit the written request to the county election board by
electronic mail. However, in a primary election, if an application has
been submitted to the county by or for a voter requesting the ballot of
a political party, the voter may not change the choice of the voter's
party when requesting a replacement ballot unless the county
determines, based on the application of the voter, that the voter was
issued an incorrect party ballot by the county.
(c) Upon receiving a written request under subsection (b), the circuit
court clerk shall do the following:
(1) Place the written request with the absentee voter's original
ballots.
(2) Mark "canceled" on the original set of ballots.
(3) Preserve the original ballots with other defective ballots.
(4) Deliver a new set of ballots to the absentee voter.
