and declaring the results of the March 2, 1982 Election.
The City Clerk reported that she has compared the informa-
tion on the voter's certificate on the back of the absentee ballot with
the registration information furnished by the County Supervisor of Elec-
tions to determine that the elector casting the absentee ballot is duly
registered in the precinct referred to and that he or she has not other-
wise voted in this election.
Also, she has compared the ballots being presented with the
record of such ballots, which include the date that a request for the
absentee ballot was made, the date the absentee ballot was delivered or
mailed and the date the ballot was received by the City Clerk's office,
required by Florida Statute 106.62(3) and has determined that we have
received all ballots require~ three which were not returned as reflected
on the absentee elector's record and that the other ballots being pre-
sented are properly accounted for.
Mr. Bird moved to approve the Clerk's comparison of the
absentee ballots presented with the record required by Florida Statutes
101.62 as prepared by the City Clerk's office and to have the record of
absentee electors as prepared by the City Clerk's office attached to and
made a part of the minutes of this meeting, seconded by Mr. Blair. Said
