Also please note when completing your ballot fill in the oval completely for the candidate you are voting for. Do not use check marks or X’s and please use a black ball point pen or fine-tip felt marker. Do not use pencils, Sharpie’s or thick felt markers as they bleed through the paper making it impossible for the voting machine to read.
