Vote on BOTH SIDES of the paper!

[turil.livejournal.com]

I only just now realized that I didn't see the ballot questions on my ballot. For some reason, they must be on the back of the paper.

I wonder how many other people didn't vote on the questions because they didn't see them on the ballot...

Remember to turn it over!

After waiting over an hour in line, my brain must have turned to mush. I feel ripped off, just slightly, since I really cared about some of those questions, and I spent that hour waiting, and only got to vote for half of the stuff!

Oh well.

But you'll remember to look on the back of the paper, right? :-)

Hopefully you returned that ballot as spoiled, and got another one. Every voter is allowed to do this twice. I don't know whether Somerville has programmed the ballot box to automatically spit back out an over-voted ballot.

I did! A very nice election official walked me through the "I screwed up, what do I do?!" process. And I believe the Somerville ballot boxes do that; the person in front of me had their ballot spit back to them. (I discovered my mistake before I got to that point.)

Yes they do that. Several people did the "two arrows" thing and the machine was spitting them out a lot. So we got a little mini-lecture in line.
