If, after the thirty-fifth day and before the close of the polls on the day of a general or primary election, a valid application for uniformed services or overseas absent voter’s ballots is delivered to the director of the board of elections at the office of the board by a person making the application on the person’s own behalf, the director shall forthwith deliver to the person all uniformed services or overseas absent voter’s ballots then ready for use, together with an identification envelope. The person shall then immediately retire to a voting booth in the office of the board, and mark the ballots. The person shall then fold each ballot separately so as to conceal the person’s markings thereon, and deposit all of the ballots in the identification envelope and securely seal it. Thereupon the person shall fill in answers to the questions on the face of the identification envelope, and by writing the person’s usual signature in the proper place thereon, the person shall declare under penalty of election falsification that the answers to those questions are true and correct to the best of that person’s knowledge and belief. The person shall then deliver the identification envelope to the director. If thereafter, and before the third day preceding such election, the board provides additional separate official issue or special election ballots, as provided for in section 3511.04 of the Revised Code, the director shall promptly, and not later than twelve noon of the third day preceding the day of election, mail such additional ballots to such person at the address specified by that person for that purpose.
In the event any person serving in the armed forces of the United States is discharged after the closing date of registration, and that person or that person’s spouse, or both, meets all the other qualifications set forth in section 3511.01 of the Revised Code, the person or spouse shall be permitted to vote prior to the date of the election in the office of the board in the person’s or spouse’s county, as set forth in this section.
