Here's a problem I encountered when voting for ISSUE NO. 1, ISSUE NO. 2 and ISSUE NO. 3

Do not mistakenly check the "NO" box for this ISSUE, thinking it's “FOR ISSUE NO. 1” Remember, you are voting FOR or AGAINST the ISSUE. The NO. in NO. 1, NO. 2 and NO. 3 is causing problems for some voters. The ballot would be less confusing if it spelled-out the word and numbers rather than abbreviate them…

[  ]  FOR ISSUE NUMBER ONE

[  ]  AGAINST ISSUE NUMBER ONE

[  ]  FOR ISSUE NUMBER TWO

[  ]  AGAINST ISSUE NUMBER TWO

 

[  ]  FOR ISSUE NUMBER THREE

[  ]  AGAINST ISSUE NUMBER THREE
