Voting by Mail is Easy!
Vote your ballot by filling in the oval next to your choice. Put your voted ballot inside the pink postage-paid return envelope. Sign and date the return envelope between the hole punches. If you place your ballot inside the ballot envelope and feel the two punched holes have compromised the integrity of your privacy, please flip the ballot around or fold it in any manner that fits inside the envelope.
Important: In order for your ballot to count, we must match your signature on the return envelope with the signature in your voter registration record.
Seal the envelope. No postage is necessary.
