How to write us in.
Spelling matters.

Write the candidate name exactly as printed on your ward card. The instructions below cover both the in-person touchscreen and the vote by mail or paper ballot.

At the polling place (touchscreen)

  1. Tap "Personal Choice" under the office you are voting for.
  2. Type the candidate name. Use the exact spelling on your card.
  3. Tap "Accept." The box turns green.
  4. Repeat for every office on your card.
  5. When you are done, print and cast your ballot.

On a vote by mail or paper ballot

  1. Find the office heading on the ballot, for example "Member of County Committee."
  2. In the "Personal Choice" line under that heading, write the candidate name. Use the spelling on your card.
  3. Fill in the oval (or square) to the left of the line.
  4. Sign the certificate envelope and mail it back, or bring it to a drop box, by the deadline.

If you make a mistake, ask a poll worker for a new ballot. Polls are open Tuesday, June 2, 2026, from 6 AM to 8 PM.

The voters still have the power. Your vote still counts. Write us in.
