Absentee Voter Guide
SPECIAL ELECTION
WHATCOM COUNTY, WASHINGTON
FEBR'UARY S. 1980
Read All Instructions Carefully Before Voting
After you receive your Absentee Ballot, please use it — do not
attempt to vote at your regular polling place on election day.
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, at-
tached to styrofoam backing, and the small paper pocket enve-
lope, 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 bath 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 at-
tached styrofoam 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. Mall your ballot so
that it will be postmarked the day of election or sooner. Instead
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.
