Why does a disabled voter have to sign or make a mark on absentee ballot envelope?
Georgia law requires the voter make a mark if unable to sign. If the Oath of Elector on the back of absentee ballot envelope does not have the voter's signature or mark, the ballot is rejected. A Power of Attorney or voter's stamped signature is not valid for the purpose of voting.
