With
the New Voting Machines, A Write-In Is Easy.
Now
that New York State has switched to the computerized card reader
style of voting method, doing a write-in vote couldn't be easier.
As
you sign in to vote, you will be handed a voting ballot card that
contains the various offices that you will be voting for. Take
this ballot card over to a table that has partitions on it to keep
your choices secret.
On the
ballot card, each office being contested has the list of candidates along with a circle next to each name.
At the
bottom of the list of candidates you will find the word "Other"
with a blank line next to it.
Write in Don DeBar in this space,
and fill in the circle next to the space for that name with the pen/pencil/whatever instrument is provided.
MAKE
SURE YOU WRITE THE NAME IN THE SPACE UNDER THE HEADING OF THE CORRECT
OFFICE YOU ARE VOTING FOR - TOWN SUPERVISOR.
If
you did it wrong, ask for a new ballot.
When
you are finished, take the card up to the election inspector near the
voting machine and give your card to him/her. They will run your card
through the machine which will record your vote.
If you have any problems or have any questions while doing a write-in vote or voting in general, the election inspectors there are being paid to help. Just ask.
Don't
worry about the machine being able to read your handwriting, just do your best to write clearly. All of the cards get reviewed back
at the County Election Office where the write-in vote is tabulated.
