2. Restrictions on issuing ballot. The clerk may not deliver an absentee ballot to any 3rd person who is a candidate or a member of a candidate's immediate family. The clerk may not deliver to an immediate family member or to a 3rd person any absentee ballot requested by telephone. The clerk may not issue more than 5 absentee ballots to any 3rd person designated in applications or written requests at any time.

3. Return of ballot by 3rd person. A 3rd person shall, unless good cause is shown, return an absentee ballot to the clerk's office within 2 business days of the date that ballot was provided to the 3rd person or by the close of the polls on election day, whichever is earlier. The clerk shall inform the 3rd person of the deadline for the return of the ballot.

4. Duplicate ballots. The clerk may issue a 2nd state absentee ballot to an applicant a voter if the applicant voter requests one by an acceptable method outlined in this subchapter and: the voter states good cause, including, but not limited to, loss of, spoiling of or damage to the first absentee ballot.

A. The applicant states good cause, including, but not limited to, loss of, spoiling of or damage to the first absentee ballot; or

B. An absentee ballot for the applicant that was furnished to a designated 3rd person was not returned to the clerk's office within the time limit provided in subsection 3. If a ballot for an applicant is not returned to the clerk within that time limit, the clerk shall mail or hand deliver a ballot to that applicant and may not issue another ballot to the applicant except for good cause as provided in this subsection. This paragraph does not affect the deadline for delivery of absentee ballots under section 755.

The clerk may also issue a 2nd state absentee ballot to a voter from whom the clerk has received a return envelope apparently containing a state absentee ballot when the State has provided the clerk with replacement ballots to reflect the removal of a candidate's name or the addition of a new candidate's name or the correction of an error. When a 2nd state absentee ballot is issued to a voter under this section, the clerk must write the words "second ballot issued" on the return envelope.
