3. The person becomes the voter's agent for purposes of voting by absentee ballot. The voter's request must be accompanied by a sworn statement by a duly licensed physician. Expected or likely confinement for childbirth on election day is sufficient cause to entitle a voter to vote absentee pursuant to this section. The physician's statement must attest to the fact that the voter is in fact unable to vote in person at the appropriate precinct on the day of the election because of a physical incapacity and that the physical incapacity originated after the deadline to request an absentee ballot as provided in Section 14-103 of this title.
5. The ballots must be returned by the agent to the secretary of the county election board no later than 7:00 p.m. on the day of the election. No person may be the agent for more than one voter at any election. Upon return of the absentee ballots, the secretary of the county election board shall cause the ballots to be processed in the same manner as is prescribed for other absentee ballots.
