The current law (before the extension) indicated that absentee ballots had to be requested by the week before the election and I'm guessing returned/received by election day. The new legislation also apparently authorizes poll workers to start counting the mail-in/absentees the morning of the election so they won't have to wait to open them and finally count them after polls are closed (to speed up getting the results tabulated).
