Instructions to Vote

1. Vote for no more than 17 delegate candidates and 10 alternate delegates.
2. You may vote for a full slate.
3. Instead of voting for a full slate, you may vote for individual candidates, as long as the total number of delegate and alternate delegate candidate votes does not exceed the total to be elected.
4. By placing an ‘X’ mark in the slate box, you will have voted for all the individual candidates on that slate. If you mark a slate box and also vote for other candidates so that the total of your votes is more than the total number of positions to be elected, only your slate vote will be counted. If you vote for both slates so that the total of your votes for slate members is more than the total number of positions to be elected, your vote will not be counted for any candidate running for that position.
5. After voting, fold the ballot (do not tear off any portion) and insert the ballot into the envelope marked “Secret Ballot Envelope.” Seal the secret ballot envelope. Do not put any identifiable marks on the secret ballot envelope. Use of this envelope ensures the confidentiality of your vote.
6. Place the sealed secret ballot envelope inside the return envelope, seal and mail the return envelope. Postage is already provided. Do not remove, deface or cover your name and mailing information. The identifying information on the return envelope must be visible to determine your eligibility to vote.
