INFORMATION TO ELECTORS Upon entering the polling place, an elector shall give his or her name and address before being permitted to vote. Where ballots are distributed to electors, the initials of two inspectors must appear on the ballot. Upon being permitted to vote, the elector shall retire alone to a voting booth and cast his or her ballot except that an elector who is a parent or guardian may be accompanied by the elector s minor child or minor ward. An election official may inform the elector of the proper manner for casting a vote, but the official may not in any manner advise or indicate a particular voting choice. At the spring election, where optical scan voting is used, the elector shall connect the arrow next to the name of the candidate of his or her choice for each office for whom he or she intends to vote. To vote for a person whose name does not appear on the ballot, the elector shall write in the name of the person of his or her choice in the space provided, and connect the arrow on the write-in line. On the referendum question, the elector shall connect the arrow to the right of the sentence that best describes their position. Where touch screen voting systems are used, the elector shall depress the button next to the name of the candidate of his or her choice for each office for whom he or she intends to vote. To vote for a person whose name does not appear on the ballot, the elector shall type in the name of the person of his or her choice in the space provided for a write-in vote. On the referendum question, the NOTICE OF SPRING ELECTION AND SAMPLE BALLOTS APRIL 6, 2010 elector shall depress the button next to the sentence that best describes their position. The vote should not be cast in any other manner. If an elector spoils an OPTICAL SCAN ballot he or she shall return it to an election official who shall issue another ballot in its place, but not more than three ballots shall be issued to any one elector. If the ballot has not been initialed by two inspectors or is defective in any other way, the elector shall return it to the election official who shall issue a proper ballot in its place. The elector may spoil a TOUCH SCREEN ballot at the voting station. Not more than five minutes time shall be allowed inside a voting booth. Sample ballots or other materials to assist the elector in marking his or her ballot may be taken into the booth and copied. The sample ballot shall not be shown to anyone so as to reveal how the ballot is marked.

After casting his or her vote, the elector shall insert the ballot in the ballot box and discard the sleeve or deliver it to an inspector for deposit. The elector shall leave the polling place promptly. After an official TOUCH SCREEN ballot is marked, the elector shall leave the polling place promptly. An elector may select an individual to assist in casting his or her vote if the elector declares to the presiding official that he or she is unable to read, has difficulty reading, writing or understanding English or that due to disability is unable to cast his or her ballot. The selected individual rendering assistance may not be the elector s employer or an agent of that employer or an officer or agent of a labor organization, which represents the elector.
