Section 1650.1040  Marking of Ballots

A valid ballot must conform to the following requirements:

a)         All choices of candidates must be clearly indicated as prescribed by the instructions accompanying the ballot. If the marking of the ballot does not conform to all instructions accompanying the ballot, the ballot is invalid and will not be counted.

b)         Each eligible voter is entitled to only one vote for any particular candidate.

c)         When there are two trustees to be elected, each eligible voter may vote for only one candidate for each position to be elected.  If more than two candidates are selected, the ballot is invalid and will not be counted.  If only one candidate is selected, the selection will count as only one vote.

d)         Manual entries of candidates not listed on the ballot are invalid and will not be counted.
