INSTRUCTIONS FOR VOTERS

COMBINING THESE ELECTIONS MEANS THAT VOTERS HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO VOTE IN BOTH ELECTIONS OR THEY MAY CHOOSE TO VOTE IN ONLY ONE ELECTION AS THERE WILL BE TWO SEPARATE BALLOTS.

VOTERS WILL ARRIVE AT THE POLLS AND CHECK IN BY PRECINCT, STREET, HOUSE NUMBER, AND NAME. NEXT THEY WILL BE ASKED IF THEY ARE VOTING IN BOTH ELECTIONS. THE VOTER THEN RECEIVES THE APPROPRIATE BALLOT/BALLOTS. VOTERS WILL REPEAT THIS PROCESS AT THE CHECK OUT TABLE AND THEN FEED THEIR BALLOTS, ONE AT A TIME, INTO THE VOTING MACHINE.

A PRIMARY REMINDER TO VOTERS, WHO ARE “UNENROLLED”,
BE SURE TO KNOW WHICH BALLOT YOU WOULD LIKE TO RECEIVE (DEMOCRAT OR REPUBLICAN) BEFORE YOU ARRIVE AT THE POLLS.
