## Text

The presiding judge of the early-voting ballot board shall convene
 the board to count late early-voted ballots cast from outside the country
 and placed in delivery by 7:00 p.m. on election day, at any time after the
 last mail delivery occurring two days after the election, or when the early
 voting clerk certifies that all early-voting ballots mailed from outside the
 United States have been received, whichever is earlier. The precise time for
 the convening of the board shall be within the discretion of the presiding
 judge, with a view toward allowing ample time for the board and the central
 counting station personnel (if applicable) to discharge its duties so that
 the county executive committee can timely convene at no later than 1:00 p.m.
 on the third day after election day.
