*Important information for Absentee Ballot Voters.*
 
It has come to my attention that some of the recent absentee ballots mailed may have included a Primary Election Secrecy sleeve rather than a General Election Secrecy sleeve. If you have questions on instructions please reach out…..YOU may vote straight party or mixed on your ballot in November.  I apologize in advance if this has caused you any confusion.
 
INSTRUCTIONS:
TO VOTE: Completely darken the box opposite each choice.
IMPORTANT: To mark your ballot, use only a black or blue ink pen.
DO NOT USE ANY OTHER INK COLOR!
PARTISAN SECTION: To vote the partisan section of the ballot, you may cast a “mixed ticket.”
Mixed Ticket: Vote for the individual candidates of your choice in each office.
NONPARTISAN and PROPOSAL SECTIONS of the ballot (if any) must be voted separately.
DO NOT vote for more candidates than indicated under each office title.
WRITE-IN CANDIDATES: To vote for a candidate whose name is not printed on the ballot, write or place the name of that candidate in the blank space provided and completely darken the voting target area. Do not cast a write-in vote for a candidate whose name is already printed on the ballot for that office.
CHECK BOTH SIDES OF BALLOT: This ballot has two sides. Be certain to check the reverse side of the ballot.
WHEN YOU HAVE COMPLETED VOTING: Place the ballot in the secrecy sleeve and then in the postage paid return envelope. You can mail it or bring it to the Election Dropbox located at the Township Hall.
NOTE: If you make a mistake, please contact the Clerk to spoil your ballot and have a new one issued. Do not attempt to erase or correct any marks made in error.
