Key Takeaways

  • •You have to pick either Yes or No, not both.
  • •The bubble you choose must be fully filled in.
  • •This rule applies to any recall proposal on the ballot.

Example

Maria goes to the polling place and sees a question about recalling a city official. She wants to vote against the recall.

Maria must completely fill in the bubble next to “No.” If she only shades it a little or leaves it blank, her vote might not count.
