I TO NEXT PAGE - v, HOW TO OBTAIN A BALLOT FOR VOTING 1. Give your name and address to an election judge. 2. If your name is on the official register, and your right to vote has not been challenged, the election judge will give you one ormore ballots. NOTE: If an election judge has reason to doubt your identity, the judge is required to either, (a) request identification from you, or (b) have a known registered voter of the district identify you. HOW TO VOTE YOUR BALLOT DO NOT vote a ballot that has been marked, spoiled, or defaced. Identification marks or a spoiled or defaced ballot will make your vote invalid. If you make a mistake, or if you have a spoiled or defaced ballot, ret urn it to the judge, who will cancel it and issue you a new ballot. When you have received a ballot from the election judge, immediately go alone to one of the voting booths and vote your ballot as follows: STEP 1 Using both hands, slide the ballot card all the way into the vote recorder. STEP 3 To vote, hold the punch straight up and push down through the card in the box next to each of your choices. Follow the instructions, and vote all pages as instructed. Use the punch provided. Do not use pen or pencil. -V- ' ' - f if-. - f ":;:v I n " vtl A u . GO t - - STEP 4 Voting for candidates of more than one party.

Q o Voting for candidates of one party. If you want to cast a "straight party" vote for all the candidates of one party, punch the box next to the desired party on the first page of the ballot. If you vote "straight party" you vote for each candidate of that party. If you have already voted "straight party" and want to vote for a candidate of another party, you can do that by punching the ballot next to the candidate's name.

When voting a write-in candidate, DO NOT punch a hole in the punch card ballot for the same position.

The copy of the ballot attached to the vote recorder contains instructions telling how many persons should be voted for each office. CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS AND INITIATIVES In case of a constitutional amendment or initiative submitted to a vote of the people, you punch the ballot by the answer you want to give. The amendment or initiative will be in the form of a question. Vote "FOR" if you want to answer "yes", and "AGAINST" if you want to answer "no." HOW TO GET HELP TO MARK YOUR BALLOT If you are blind, disabled, unable to read or write, unable to read or write the English language, or physically unable to enter a polling place, you may be helped by someone you choose. The person helping you cannot be your employer, an agent of your employer, or an officer or agent of your union. The person helping you cannot in any way request, persuade, or induce you to vote for or against any particular candidate or issues.
