§ 2535. Form of early voter absentee ballots and envelopes

(a) Early voter absentee ballots shall be the same as the official ballots to be used at the election.

(b) If necessary, special ballots may be prepared of such different weight of paper, or overall size and shape as shall be prescribed by the secretary of state, to conform with minimum postal, military, naval, air force or other federal or military regulations and orders covering the transportation of such ballots, provided that the text is identical in substance, except as to type size, with that appearing on the official ballots.

(c) Envelopes, including return envelopes, containing early voter absentee ballots may, as circumstances require, be particularly imprinted, stamped or superscribed with approved identification words or symbols designating the same as "Vermont Official Early or Absentee Voter Ballot" and with such additional words or devices as are necessary to comply with any censorship regulations or rules which may be in effect at the time of mailing.
