INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO VOTE ON A DS-200 PRECINCT TABULATOR

 

The DS200 is a precinct level tabulator that will be available to tabulate your ballots at your polling location. The DS200 will notify you if you have overvoted or undervoted on any races on the ballot.

 

  1. To vote, fill in the oval completely.
  2. Vote both sides and all sheets.
  3. Use only black or blue ink to mark your ballot.  An optical or digital tabulator will count your ballot.  If you use any other type of marking instrument, it may not be detected by the tabulator.
  4. When marking your ballot you should NOT make an X or a check mark.  You should NOT cross out, erase, or use correction fluid on the ballot and if you make an error, you should request a new ballot.
  5. READ INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY!  If you mark more candidates than you are allowed to mark for that position, it is considered an overvote.  You may request a new ballot if you overvote in any race.   If you do not correct your ballot, that race will not count because of the overvote; however, the remainder of your ballot will be counted.
  6. After you mark the ballot, you will be directed to insert the ballot in the DS-200 precinct tabulator, which will alert you to overvotes or undervote, if any, and after you verify your selections, the DS-200 will tabulate your choices and deposit the ballot in the ballot box.
