The provisions of this code shall not be construed to prohibit any elector from voting in person at the elector's precinct on the day of an election notwithstanding that the elector has requested an absentee ballot for that election. An elector who has received an absentee ballot, but desires to vote in person, shall return the ballot, whether voted or not, to the election board in the elector's precinct. The returned ballot shall be marked "canceled" by the board and placed with other canceled ballots. However, if the elector does not return the ballot and the election official:

1. (1) Confirms that the supervisor has received the elector's absentee ballot, the elector shall not be allowed to vote in person.
2. (2) Confirms that the supervisor has not received the elector's absentee ballot, the elector shall be allowed to vote in person as provided in this code. The elector's absentee ballot, if subsequently received, shall not be counted and shall remain in the mailing envelope, and the envelope shall be marked "Rejected as Illegal."
3. (3) Cannot determine whether the supervisor has received the elector's absentee ballot, the elector may vote a provisional ballot as provided in s. 101.048
