§ 1158. Voting by program participant

A program participant who is otherwise qualified to vote may register to vote and apply for an early voter absentee ballot pursuant to rules adopted by the secretary of state under section 1160 of this title. Such rules shall enable a town clerk to substitute, on all voting records of the town, the designation "blind ballot" wherever the name or address of the voter might otherwise appear. The program participant shall receive early voter absentee ballots for all elections in the jurisdictions for which that individual resides in the same manner as early or absentee voters who qualify under section 2531 of Title 17. The town clerk shall transmit the early voter absentee ballot to the program participant at the address designated by the participant in his or her application. Neither the name nor the address of a program participant shall be included in any list of registered voters available to the public. (Added 1999, No. 134 (Adj. Sess.), § 2, eff.
