AT THE POLLING PLACE The city will post the Notice of Council Vacancy at the entrance to the polling place and have a copy of the Notice, Resolution 09 -96 as well a copy of Chapter II, Section 2.05 and Chapter IV, Section 4.05... on the ballot table for voters to review. I've advised the ballot judges not to answer questions... to refer all questions to my office. They can only direct them to vote for two as per the ballot. There may be overvotes...voting for more than two. In that case the Accu -vote will note initially accept the ballot. The judge will advise the voter of the overvote and at this point the voter may ask for a new ballot or have the head judge send it through. The only race that won't be counted is the overvoted race.
