§ 6036 Harbor District Ballot Format

• •The first election ballot must have “For” and “Against” boxes for the harbor district.
• •All candidates’ names get a box, plus five blank spots for write‑in names.
• •Later ballots drop the “For/Against” boxes but keep the candidate boxes and can add other questions.
• •Every ballot should follow this layout as closely as possible.

A town creates a new harbor district and holds its first election. The ballot shows a box next to “For the harbor district” and another next to “Against the harbor district,” lists each harbor commissioner candidate with a box beside their name, and also includes five empty spots where voters can write in a name.

Voters use the boxes to say yes or no about forming the district, pick a candidate by checking the box next to their name, or write in someone else in the blank spots. In the next election, the ballot no longer has the yes/no boxes, but still lists the candidates and can add other questions for voters.
