I am fine with the changes, but have one recommendation:

The 4.4.1 remedy is time limited.  It is possible that someone's absence, 
whether planned (trip to the arctic) or unplanned (severe accident) is longer 
than the 4.4.1 timing, then they may not be able to use absentee voting.  Would 
it be ok to add, "Whenever possible" at the beginning of the condition?

I think this also means that the form would need to be changed to include both 
an option for 4.4.1 vote and all other votes.
