STEP 4 - VOTE!
Make sure to get out and vote on Tuesday, November 8, 2022! Below are some voter day guidelines to help you know what to expect:
You will vote in a private area, and your vote is secret. Vote with a pen or pencil, and completely fill in the oval next to your choice. You can also fill out your ballot using a ballot-marking machine. It has many options for marking your ballot, such as large print, audio instructions, key pad or touchscreen.
The ballot instructions will say how many candidates you can choose for each office. Usually it will say to ‘choose one.’ Some local offices may have more than one seat to fill.
Your ballot will count even if you do not vote on every race or ballot question.
If you make a mistake, you have a right to ask for a replacement ballot.
