Recounts; absentee ballots received after close of polls. Provides that absentee ballots that are received after the close of polls on any election day but before the time has expired for initiating a recount and that are postmarked on or before the date of the election are to be set aside for recount purposes. In the event of a recount, the determination of the votes in the recount shall be based on such absentee ballots, in addition to votes cast in the election.
