How to Cast a Write-In Vote

The new machines make it much easier to cast your vote for a write-in candidate. You don’t need paper, pens or pencils anymore.

It’s just as easy as 1, 2, 3

1. Look at the voting screen for the write-in column and the office for which you want to write in your vote. Push the write-in button for the Council at Large office. A lighted X will begin flashing inside this box.
2. Look to the bottom of the machine and find the test screen to your left and the keyboard to your right. Using the keyboard type in “JIM CARLUCCI.”
3. When you’re finished typing, check the text screen to make sure you spelled “JIM CARLUCCI” correctly and press the green “Enter” button. The lighted X will stop blinking and you have just written in your vote! Go Democracy!
