_WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1924 GOOD FAITH BY ABSENT VOTER HELD REQUIRED, Provisions of Law Explained ' By Assistant Attorney- General to Committee CAN'T DODGE LAW| ‘Holds That Voter Must Be Absent Before Election to Be Able to Use Ballot The he used in the forthcoming election bent vote by a person who does not intend to be absent from the county on the | of election, it is held in’ an opinion given here by L .Butter- sistant Attorney-General. ‘The opinion was in response to a est vor information by the Bur- h Independent Campaign —Com- ittec, The only exception found by ‘Mr. Butterwick in the law is) in the event that the voter casts an absent ballot, goes out of the county and returns une election d wick, ballot om be counted in this event. If the voter cast an absent ballot and did not leave the county it would be grounds for contesting an election ina pre- cinet, he holds. Opinion In Part The opinion, in part follows: construction of the absent vote iHot law and for a specific stat ent as to whether or not electors may cast an sent voter’ in fact they are not absent from the county upon election day, and | also for specific information as to whether or not an elector of a pre- cinct can challenge an absert voter's vote, beg to advise you that Section that ‘any qualified elector of this te having complied with the laws 1 regard to registration who is ab- sent from the county of which he is an elector on the day of hold- ing any general or primary election, nay vote at such election as here- inafter provided’ It is perfectly clear from the language employed by the Legislature in drafting thi¢ see- tion that only such electors as are absent from their county on election day may vote by means of the ab- sent voter's ballot and if this were the only section dealing with the subject, there will be no difficulty whatever in holding that if the voter was present in his county on election day th the clection board receiv yg his sent voter's ballot. Another Section “Section 1002, however, provide follows: b- be construed so as to permit any ‘qualified elector of this state who is present in his county after the official absent voter ballots of such county have been printed, and who has reasons to believe that he will be absent from such county on ection day 9s before provided in tion 993, to vote before he leaves his county in like manner as ab- sent voters, and any qualified ele tor who-has marked his ballot hereinbefore provided who shall unexpeetedly return to his preeinct before or on @ection day shall be permitted to vote in person, provid- ed his ballot has not already been deposited in the ‘ballot box.” “It thus will be seen that Section 1002 modifies in a degree the pro- vision of Section 993, and under ter section in certain circum- stances, it is legal for the election board to receive ian absent voter's ballot when as 2 matter of fact the iéeter himself is present in the edunty, * * * In order to construe both the sections above referred to so that each may receive a reason- | able and practical operation, it is necessary that we limit the opera- tion of Section 1002 to those speci- tic instanecs where the elector has in fact left his county in pursuance # the expectation stated in his ap- plication for absent voter's ballot, but has unexpectedly returned to county on or before election y, and it is the opinion of this office and we so hold that in those instances where~ the elector has -fecured and marked an absent ‘oter’s ballot in the expectation of leaving tho county or the alleged ex- pcetation of leaving the county, but as a matter of fact never leaves the county, he is not entitled to have his absent voter’s ballot deposited in the ballot box by, the election of- ficers, and that if such ballots are deposited and counted by tHe elec- tion board, the canvass of the same. by the board will be ground for a contest of the election in that pre- cinet.” 4 Man Held Is Not Minot Yegg Fargo, N.
