2 Page ON THE COVER: There apparently are no records of when and how Macoupin County acquired the six-pounder Civil War-era cannon that now stands guard in front of the south entrance to the Macoupin County Courthouse. For many years, the barrel alone was mounted on a concrete pedestal on the southwest lawn facing the Old Macoupin Jail across the street. As a project of the Macoupin County Civil War Roundtable, the cannon was sandblasted and remounted on a replica carriage last year, with a rededication ceremony taking place Sept. 17, 017. Cast in 1839 at the Algar Foundary in Boston, the cannon weighs 690 pounds and was used during the Mexican War ( ) and the Civil War ( ). The cannons were called six-pounders because they fired a sixpound iron ball. They also could fire an explosive shell or cannister. Six-pounders were fired by six-man crews and were pulled by teams of six horses. A total of 6 of the cannons were cast in Boston. They were gradually replaced after the Civil War with larger, more accurate artillery. The one in Macoupin County is one of only ten surviving 188 Algar six-pounders known to exist. Union Bug 018 Primary Election Voter Inmation & Election Guide A message to voters The 018 primary election is the kick-off to the 018 political season, a first step toward the crucial midterm general election coming up in November. Come March 0, Macoupin County voters will join voters throughout Illinois in determining who the general election candidates will be U.S. Senator, Governor, Attorney General, Secretary of State, Comptroller and Treasurer. County voters also will have a say in nominating candidates U.S. Representative from the 13th Congressional District, and will have a voice in nominating candidates the State Senate and State House of Representatives. Closer to home, the primary will determine candidates County Clerk, County Treasurer and County Sheriff and County Board members. While primary elections typically have lower voter turn-outs than general elections, they are nonetheless a crucial part of a representative democracy. The primary sets the stage the general election in November, determining which candidates will stand election to public offices that affect the daily lives of residents in Macoupin County and elsewhere. Some voters may shy away from primary elections because they do not wish to declare a party preference in order to receive a ballot. It s important to note, however, that the requirement declaring party affiliation applies only to those voters who intend to vote in either Democratic or Republican primary races. For this year s primary election, there are two public questions voters in specific precincts. In those precincts, voters who wish to cast ballots on public questions only may do so without declaring a party preference. Such voters will receive a special ballot style that has only the public questions and none of the political races. As your County Clerk, it has again been my pleasure to work with staff members, party officials, candidates and public officials to make sure every aspect of the 016 primary election runs smoothly. From finalizing ballots and responding to vote-bymail requests to setting up polling places and vote counting equipment, administering any election is a mammoth undertaking. It can be a daunting but ultimately rewarding task. I sincerely hope your experience as a voter will be equally rewarding. W e v e worked hard to include in the 018 Primary Election Voter Inmation and Election Guide all the inmation you will need to cast your ballot in the upcoming primary election. We ve included sample ballots, the text of public questions, inmation about voter registration as well as details about early voting and vote-by-mail options. There s even a section on how you can serve your fellow citizens by becoming an election judge if you so choose. If you have further questions or need additional inmation, I encourage you to contact my office at (17) , extension 707, or visit our comprehensive election website at www. macoupinvotes.com. The state of the art website allows voters to check the status of their voter registration, find the polling place their precinct, view sample ballots and obtain other inmation. On election night, the website will be updated regularly with election results Macoupin County so voters will know the outcome of local races and ballot issues as soon as ballots are counted. As always, it is my pleasure to administer this election and I deeply appreciate the opportunity to serve the voters of Macoupin County. Pete Duncan Macoupin County Clerk

This voter file maintenance was the fourth done since October 011. Voter Inmation Changes Has your signatures changed from There was a five-year break bee October 011 in which no voter file maintenance was completed. The maintenance mailing is done to ensure only valid registrations voters are listed in the voter file. This has multiple goals: v Makes sure a voter s registration is complete and up-todate bee the voter tries to vote v Cleans the voter file of no longer valid registrations v Speeds up Election Day sign-in process by shortening the list of voters given to judges. v Reduces costs in the election budget by requiring less ballots and supplies to be printed.

To avoid lines and congestion at your precinct, you may want to vote in the 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. non rush hour time frame of the day. How do primaries work? Primary elections decide which candidate will run each party during the general election. Illinois holds a closed primary, which means voters must choose a single party ballot on the day of a primary election. How Do Primaries Work? Why do I have to choose one party s ballot? State law requires you can vote in either the Republican or the Democratic primary, but not both. For example, you cannot vote in the Republican primary Governor but in the Democratic primary County Clerk. What if I don t want to say which party s ballot I want? If there are public questions where you live, you will be able to get a non-partisan ballot. However, a non-partisan ballot will not have any candidates on it, just public questions. If there are no public questions on the ballot where you live, to vote you must pick one party s ballot.

10 Page Primary Election Voter Inmation & Election Guide What to Expect at the Polls Voting should be a quick, satisfying experience if you follow a few simple steps. Here are some tips on what to expect at the polls on Election Day: First, you are required to vote in the precinct where you live. Your voter inmation card shows your precinct number and polling place location. It can also be found on our website. The polls are open from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. To avoid the heavy turnout times of 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., we suggest you vote between 10 a.m. 4 p.m. to avoid long lines. To ensure a quick process, any changes to your name or address since the last Election should be updated with the Elections Office prior to Election Day. When you arrive at your precinct, an Election judge will ask your name and address, find your name in the poll book and ask you to sign both an application to vote and the poll book. Your application to vote will be numbered and your ballot will be initialed by an Election judge. It is important that you review your ballot accuracy prior to casting your ballot. Once your ballot has been accepted by the voting equipment, no further changes or corrections can be made. If you have made a mistake, you can spoil the ballot you have by giving it back to the judges and getting a new ballot. You can ask any questions you have to the Election judges. If you registered to vote by mail and the Elections office could not verify your identity, you will be required to show one m of identification from the following list. v A current and valid photo identification v Utility bill v Bank statement v Government check v Paycheck v Government document Each registered voter in this state should: 1. Familiarize herself or himself with the candidates and issues. Voter Responsibilities 5. Familiarize herself or himself with the operation of the voting equipment in his or her precinct. 6. Treat precinct workers with courtesy.. Maintain with the Elections Office their registration with a current name and address. 3.

18 Page Primary Election Voter Inmation & Election Guide How Do I Vote Early? WHAT IS EARLY VOTING? Registered voters may cast a ballot prior to Election Day without having to provide a reason wanting to vote early. This ballot is cast by personal appearance at the Macoupin County Clerk s office or at a location set up by the County Clerk. WHEN DOES EARLY VOTING OCCUR? Early voting runs through March 19. WHERE CAN PEOPLE VOTE? People may vote at the Macoupin County Clerk s office, Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and on Saturday, March 10 and 17 from 9 am. to 1 p.m. The County Clerk s office is located on the first floor of the the County Courthouse in Carlinville. IF I VOTE EARLY, BUT CHANGE MY MIND, MAY I VOTE ON ELECTION DAY? No. The law prohibits a person who voted during the early voting period from voting again on Election Day. ARE POLLWATCHERS ALLOWED AT EARLY VOTING SITES? Yes. Just as with a regular polling place on Election Day, pollwatchers may be appointed to observe early voting by personal appearance at each permanent and temporary polling place where early voting is conducted. WHAT ARE THE SAFEGUARDS AGAINST VOTER FRAUD? Election judges will compare the voter s signature with the signature from when the voter registered. The votes cast during the early voting period will not be counted until after the polls close on Election Day. WHAT IS THE REASON EARLY VOTING? A major reason early voting is to encourage greater participation in the election. People who travel business, work long hours or are otherwise inconvenienced by the hours the polls are open may find it easier to vote early.

Check page 6 more inmation. Vote By Mail Absentee Voting is now Vote By Mail: State law has been changed to alter what we call absentee voting. Since the rules allow any registered voters to cast a ballot through the mail instead of needing a valid absenee excuse, the term it is now vote by mail instead of absentee. Online Vote-By-Mail Application In 014, the Macoupin County Election Office added an online vote by mail application m that ensures every voter who wants to vote by mail, can do so in the most efficient way possible. The online application cuts out one step, waiting an application to go through the mail, saving the voter time. But the vote by mail certification is still checked against the signature in the voter file to prevent any voter fraud. I Voted Stickers Illinois law now specifies that if you vote, you are entitled to an I Voted sticker if you wish to have one. Macoupin has always done this, but I wanted to share that it is required law.

26 Page General Election Voter Inmation & Election Guide Casting your ballot Optical Scan Voting is as Easy as ! Macoupin County Clerk Pete Duncan recently announced that with the closing of the Church of the Nazarene, the polling place Carlinville 5 had changed to Bothwell Auditorium at Blackburn College located at 700 College Ave. in Carlinville. Duncan advised voters that new voter registration cards have been mailed to all voters registered in Carlinville 5 with a notice sticker stating that their polling place location had changed. Duncan asked any Carlinville 5 voter to be on the lookout their new card and call his office at (17) ext 707 if they have not received their new card. Duncan also suggested that any voter could utilize early voting at the Election office if they wished to vote bee Election Day. The new polling place at Bothwell Auditorium will be used Carlinville 5 in the upcoming March 0th Primary Election so all Carlinville 5 voters should remember they will need to head to their new polling place at 700 College Ave. to cast their ballot. A map of the Blackburn campus is provided showing where Bothwell Auditorium is located. New polling place established Carlinville Precinct 5 Be sure to mark both sides of your ballot if needed.

Cover your ballot with the privacy sleeve and insert the ballot into the ballot tabulator. The Optical Scan System complies with the Help America Vote Act (HAVA) to provide voters an opportunity to check and correct ballot errors ( example, casting more votes an office than allowed results in an overvote). If an error is detected, the system will gently beep and give you the option to accept the ballot as is (the overvoted office will not count) or you may return the ballot to an Election Judge and receive a new ballot. Visit the Macoupin County Clerk s website: macoupinvotes.com additional inmation on the Optical Scan Voting System. FYI Bothwell Auditorium v The ballot tabulator will notify you if you have overvoted an office or undervoted an office. Many voters intentionally skip offices which they do not care to vote in, but rarely intentionally vote more candidates than allowed in any given office. You can either count the ballot as is or go back and check your ballot. v The ballot tabulator will notify you if you have inserted a blank ballot or one that it perceived to be blank because it was not marked properly. Blackburn College Campus v The paper trail provided by this system of voting is not a receipt the voter, but instead an actual ballot which can be recounted when necessary to insure the integrity of the system. 018 Primary Election Day Tuesday, March 0 Polls Open: 6 a.m. - 7 p.m. t
