YOUR BALLOT CONSISTS OF: A ballot card which is attached to a styrofoam backing. (Please do not detach this ballot from the backing.) A punching tool which is attached to the ballot. A small paper pocket envelope which has space for write-in votes. A medium-sized envelope (for returning both the ballot card and the ballot pocket envelope). A large buff mailing envelope for return of voted ballot card, attached to Styrofoam backing, and the small paper pocket envelope, both of which should be enclosed in the medium-sized envelope. The Statement of Absentee Voter also appears on the mailing envelope. HOW TO VOTE 1. Complete the Statement of Absentee Voter on the large buff colored mailing envelope. 2. Read these instructions. The ballot pages are identical to those used in the punched card voting device in the precinct itself. 3. To the right of each measure or candidate is a number which is assigned to its position on the pre -scored ballot card. 4. Use the provided punch tool and firmly punch out the black dot in the same square as the position number on the ballot card. 5. Write-in candidates may be voted for by using space provided on the small paper pocket envelope and listing both the name and the office of the write-in candidates. For Partisan Office write-in you must also write the name of the political party. Do not punch any position number on the ballot card for the race in which a write-in candidate is desired. 6. After you have finished voting, the ballot card and the attached styro- foam backer should then be slipped into the small paper pocket envelope. These should, in turn, be placed into the medium-sized ballot envelope. The medium-sized ballot envelope should be placed into the mailing envelope which contains the Statement of Absentee Voter. Mail your ballot so that it will be postmarked the day of election or sooner. In- stead of mailing, you may send it by any means so as to reach this office on or before election day. 7. If for some reason you spoil the IBM Punch Card Ballot, then using a PEN, mark this guide like a paper ballot. When returning your ballot, it will require 28 cents first-class postage.
