SAMPLE BALLOTS
What
is a Sample Ballot? The
Secretary of State is required to prepare sample ballots for each
election so that voters have an opportunity to inform themselves
about the candidates and issues appearing on the ballot. A sample
ballot will be substantially the same as a regular ballot except
that there will be no state seal and the heading "SAMPLE BALLOT"
replaces "OFFICIAL BALLOT".
The
Secretary of States provides each municipal clerk with sample ballots
before each election. The clerk is required to post sample ballots
in each voting district, along with the Notice of Election at least
7 days before Election Day. The clerk may also duplicate and distribute
sample ballots as needed.
