§ A smiley face is acceptable instead of a check mark as the indicator of your voting choice. If you wish to add color, stay within the circle. Stick-on smiley faces are available from the registrar.

§ You may bring no more than one crystal into the voting booth.

§ Do not attempt to relocate the ballot box, table or voting booth. Feng-shui has already been performed.

Candidate Information

§ A loud beep will sound if a new candidate enters the race while you are in the act of voting. Exit the booth, watch the DVD, then return to cast your vote.

§ Certain candidates are marked with a “?” on the ballot. This signifies that their candidacies are under legal challenge and may be disqualified before this election is completed. Challenged candidacies: Manson, DreamWorks, Nixon.

Ballot Information

If this is your first voting experience in the State of California, be advised that:

§ California uses a photo ballot. Choose the candidate whose looks you like most and put a check mark (or smiley face) next to his/her photo. Warning: If you tear out the photo from the ballot for personal use, you must pay a $5 fee.

§ If you are using a drive-thru voting booth, throw your ballot in the bin and DO NOT STOP.

§ If you are in Vegas on polling day, use one of the Quik-Vote boxes in the casino of your favorite hotel.

Write-Ins

§ If there is in your opinion a potential governor who is NOT on the official list of candidates, you may write in his/her name as your voting choice UNLESS he/she is already governor of another state or a cartoon character.

WARREN BEATTY AND BARBRA STREISAND JOKES STRICTLY FORBIDDEN.
