and retained by the Bureau as provided by statute.

The corrected Ballots shall be mailed to the Qualified Electors accompanied by a letter
advising the Qualified Electors of the errors in the previous Ballot and requesting the
Qualified Electors to execute the second corrected Ballot.

remedied within the time limits fixed by statute, the Bureau shall determine the specific
errors causing the Ballot Deficiency.
