Silly question, but want to make sure.

I've been contacting people to GOTV, and many are asking me if they have to fill out the whole ballot or just the presidential part. Naturally I am encouraging people to vote in other important races, but I want to be sure I am correct when telling them they do NOT have to fill out the entire ballot if they dont want to, and their vote will still count.

3. I just vote for all the judges anyway,

Edited on Tue Nov-02-04 12:14 PM by shylock1579

because I have a paranoia of my ballot being thrown out for something stupid like that. I am pretty sure you do not have to fill out everything, but I would be interested to hear it for sure if anyone has that info.

I voted for myself for judge 8.

4. I'm scared to use the straight ticket vote

I vote for each individual candidate. Just makes me feel better that there's an actual punchout next to my candidates' names.

Also, I'm not sure but I expect voting a straight ticket AND punching individual names may register as an overvote in some cases.
