Chapter 3 — Registering To Vote

3.C.1. Exception to the Residency Requirement for Active Military.

If the voter is active military and that service placed the voter outside of the thirty (30) day residency requirement within sixty (60) days of the election, the voter shall be allowed to vote with proof of service; that proof of service being to the election judge's satisfaction.

Much of this exception was made redundant by grace period voting and vote by mail. A challenge to active military voting rare, but the poll watcher should be aware that these circumstances exist.

The poll watcher should also be aware that two affidavits are required. One from the voter seeking the military exemption and the second from a registered voter supporting the request.
