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? :-)

It does say CONTINUED ON BACK at the bottom of the right column, and VOTE BOTH SIDES at the bottom of the ballot.

Somerville sample ballots are here (but the JPG files are large and seem to load very slowly this morning). By not voting the back, you missed questions 2 and 3 (and nonbinding questions 4 and 5 if you're in Denise Provost's district)

And question 1 as well. (And I am in Denise's district, so I did miss those other questions.)

Why would they just stop the voting in the middle of the first page? It's completely abnormal...

Unless the sample ballot is different from the real ballot, question 1 is on the front.

Huh, I looked at the picture of ballot again on that website, and see that there were even questions on that first page that I didn't see at all. I just stopped voting when the vote options stopped in the middle of the page, not expecting it to continue ('cause usually when a list of things stops, that means there are no more list items).

Really badly desinged. And not made for people who're not really awake yet.

Oh well.

On my ballot, question 1 was on the front...
