A. At the top of the ballot you will find instructions for marking the ballot, and below the instructions you will find the names of all the candidates for respective offices to be filled, and/or the proposition or question to be voted upon under the appropriate titles. Do not mark your ballot in any way except as directed below and do not make any erasures.

B. To vote for a candidate or question, completely fill in the oval adjacent to the name of the person or to the question. To vote for a person whose name is not printed on the ballot, print the person’s name on the blank line provided for a write-in candidate and be sure to complete the oval next to the person’s name to vote for them.

C. Do not vote for more candidates to any office than are to be elected to such office. If you do so this portion of your ballot will be rejected.

D. If you should mismark or otherwise spoil your ballot, return the ballot to the election worker who issued it to you and you will be issued a new ballot. You may receive only two ballots for this purpose in addition to your original ballot.

E. After voting, conceal your ballot (either turning it over or placing it into a secrecy folder if two-sided) and proceed directly to the ballot box. Slide your ballot into the optical scan machine. If you need help to scan your vote, request the assistance of an election offical. (Ord. 21-10-596 § 6)
