A. The clerk shall deliver all special needs ballots to the canvass board for review. After research, the canvass board by majority vote may accept a special needs ballot. A special needs ballot shall be counted despite failure of an election official to properly sign and date the voter’s certificate as attesting official. If the ballot has been properly cast and is accepted, the ballot envelope shall be opened and the secrecy envelope shall be mixed with the other secrecy envelopes. The ballots shall be removed from the secrecy envelopes and shall be mixed with other ballots for counting.

B. If a special needs voter is not qualified or the voter’s ballot has not been properly cast, the clerk shall notify the voter in writing of the reason the ballot was not counted. The rejected ballot shall be placed in a container which shall be labeled “no count” and shall be preserved and destroyed as provided in WMC 4.28.060. (Ord. 12-20 § 47, 2012)
