summary
This amendment removes language that would have eliminated the use of stickers for write-in candidates but requires the clerk to report to the Secretary of State any problems arising from the use of stickers. This amendment also clarifies that the procedures outlined in Committee Amendment "A" for processing absentee ballots on the day before election day applies only to those municipalities that opt to process absentee ballots on the day before election day.
