(a) If a ballot package is not received by a voter by the fifth day before the date of the election or a voter otherwise requires a replacement ballot within five days of an election, the voter may request that a ballot be forwarded by electronic transmission. Upon receipt of such a request and confirmation that the voter has not already voted, the clerk may transmit the appropriate ballot, voting information, and a waiver of the right to secrecy under section 11-137. The waiver of the right to secrecy shall not be required if the voted ballot is returned in a signed ballot return identification envelope issued to the voter pursuant to section 11-102.
(b) The voter may return the completed replacement ballot and executed forms:
(1) By electronic transmission so that the completed replacement ballot and executed forms are received by the clerk or the clerk's designee no later than the closing hour of voting; or
(2) In the same manner as provided in section 11-104(c).
(c) A voter with special needs may request that a ballot be forwarded by electronic transmission at any time, but no earlier than the date that the voter's initial ballot package was or would have been transmitted.
