Polls open Tuesday

August 25, 2008 05:35 pm

— Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Tuesday August 26, 2008 for the primary
runoff election. This Democratic Primary Runoff Election is for the County Commissioner, District II race. The Pontotoc County Election Board, offered voters some tips on how to make their votes count.
A valid marking—a filled-in arrow—is shown on posters at the polling place and inside the voting booths. If voters make mistakes marking their ballots, they should not try to correct those errors. Instead, voters should return the spoiled ballot to the Precinct Officials, who will destroy it and issue a new ballot to the voter.
Voters are urged to take their voter identification cards with them to the polls. Your voter identification card can help Precinct Officials find your name in the Precinct Registry and it may also help them resolve the problem if you are not listed in the Precinct Registry.
Voters whose names are not found in the Precinct Registry, or a voter who disagrees with the information shown in the Registry, may need to cast a provisional ballot. A provisional ballot is sealed in a special envelope and counted after Election Day if the voter’s information can be verified by the County Election Board.
