Amend HR 35 as follows: (1) Strike Section 3 and substitute the following: SECTION 3. VOTING. (a) The secretary of state shall direct the chief clerk to distribute to each member, at the member's desk, a ballot to be used in the election of the speaker. The ballot shall be a blank sheet of paper sized 8 1/2 inches by 11 inches. (b) Each member shall complete the member's ballot by: (1) writing the name of the nominee for whom the member votes; (2) printing only the member's district number on the ballot; and (3) folding the ballot. (c) The chief clerk shall designate a voting area near the reading clerk's desk and shall provide a voting box for the marked ballots. Upon completing the member's ballot, the member shall proceed to the voting area and deposit the member's folded ballot in the voting box. As each member deposits the member's ballot in the voting box, the chief clerk shall record, on a roster of the members elected to the 80th Legislature, that the member has deposited the member's ballot in the voting box. When it appears that all ballots have been deposited in the box, the secretary of state shall ask if all ballots have been cast and provide those members who have not cast their ballots a final opportunity to deposit their ballots in the voting box. (d) After all ballots have been cast and placed in the voting box, the chief clerk shall sign the roster indicating which members cast ballots and deliver the roster to the sergeant-at-arms. The ballots shall then be counted by the sergeant-at-arms and the secretary of state on the house floor. The sergeant-at-arms and secretary of state shall prepare and sign a tally sheet indicating the total votes received by each nominee. The secretary of state shall announce only the total votes cast for each nominee, as reflected on the tally sheet. Immediately after the results are announced, the sergeant-at-arms and secretary of state shall securely seal the ballots and the chief clerk's roster in an envelope, sign the outside of the envelope, and deliver the envelope to the chief clerk. The envelope containing the ballots shall be kept sealed and secure by the chief clerk until all committee assignments have been made of the 80th Legislature, at which time the envelope shall be presented to the journal clerk, who shall record each member's vote for speaker in the journal. (2) Strike Section 4(a) and reletter subsequent subsections accordingly.
