When I went to vote this morning Hillary Clinton’s name appeared more than once on the ballot. Each time she was listed under a different party or issue - one box was titled ‘women’s rights’, another ‘Democratic Party’.

However, the instructions on the ballot clearly indicated you should only pick ONE box. I found this very confusing, so I’m asking you to spread the word: 

 if your candidate appears more than once on a ballot, only pick them ONCE. ANY of the boxes with their name on it will count. 

 IF YOU PICK MORE THAN ONE YOU WILL INVALIDATE YOUR VOTE. 

 Thank you!

Yes, this is a thing every election in NYC. In every election I’ve ever voted in, if the candidate I’ve wanted to vote for was listed under both Democratic and Working Families, I’ve voted for them under Working Families. Let me be clear about something:

If you have any confusion about your ballot, any uncertainty at all, ASK SOMEONE WHO’S WORKING THERE. They are available to answer questions and clarify. And if you make a mistake, you can ask for a new ballot.

reblogging for great advice.
