First, absentee ballots must be specifically authorzed by your organization's governing documents. The RONR default is that you can't use them.

You count them as many times as needed to get the count right. The count should be the same whether there is a tie or not.

...and the citation for that is on RONR pp. 408-409.

But... if Matt means does he count the SAME absentee ballots a second time, after retaking the vote of the people present at the meeting (because there was a tie in the total of absentee and voters-present votes),then he is doing it all wrong.

If Matt really does mix absentee and voters-present ballots in the election (a very bad idea), his association will have to send out for a new round of absentee ballots and combine them with a new round of voters-present ballots, at a later meeting.

And cross his fingers that he doesn't get another tie.
