The Ballot

Above you will find a copy of the ballot for this years Municipal elections. The process this year is dramatically different than in past years; this year electronic scan machines will be used to tabulate votes. The process is quite simple:
  1. You will check in at your regular polling locations (as you have done countless times);
  2. You will receive a paper ballot (it looks like a standardized test form);
  3. You will receive a short explanation from the polling moderator about what you should do and where you need to submit your ballot;
  4. You will enter a small privacy booth (or if you are unable to do so, you may vote by telephone);
  5. You will then fill in the bubbles (to the upper left of the candidate's name) for those you wish to vote for (VOTE ONLY LINE "B"!) with a pencil or pen;
  6. Then you will walk to the electronic scan machine, insert you ballot, and voila, you are done!

Make sure that when you vote, you don't forget to vote YES for the two bond questions at the very top of the ballot.
