TIPS FOR BALLOTS:
- Use a Blue or Black pen that will NOT bleed through the paper to vote the ballot.
- To vote for a candidate whose name appears on the ballot, completely fill in the oval to the left of your choice.
- If you do not want to vote the entire ballot, simply mark your selections, and leave the rest blank.
- After marking your ballot, place the ballot inside the secrecy sleeve that came with your ballot.
- Place the ballot and the secrecy sleeve in your return envelope addressed to the Kiowa County Clerk and Recorder Office.
- Before sealing the envelope, sign the signature affidavit located on the back of the envelope. This is required for your ballot to be processed. The staff must compare every signature to make sure that the intended voter was the one who signed the envelope.
All election offenses will be turned over to the District Attorney for investigation and prosecution.
