RESOLUTION 95-039 B. Introduction The Election Meeting should begin with a brief introduction by the Election Administrator as to the purpose of the meeting and an overview of the meeting agenda. Sufficient copies of the agenda should be available to allow the public to follow the sequence of events. C. Candidate Statements After a determination has been made concerning the q~.alifi- cations or lack thereof of all persons wishing to qualify as Candidates, each of the qualified Candidates should be permitted to give a short speech. The length of time permitted for each speech should be uniform and should be determined upon the number of candidates wishing to speak. A maximum time limit of 2 minutes is suggested. The Candidate speeches should be given by category. Upon the completion of speeches in a particular category, voting in that category should take place. D. Voting Procedures Voting shall be restricted by categories, e.g., only resi- dential owner occupants shall vote for the residential owner occupant category, only residential tenants shall vote for the residential tenant category, and only business owners shall vote for the business owner category. Any person eligible to vote or to be a candidate in more than one category must choose one category in which to run or vote. Proof of eligibility must be provided for the category chosen. The ballot (a sample of which is attached as Exhibit 3) should be color coded by category to aid voters and avoid confu- sion. Qualified voters must check in at the appropriate table to obtain a ballot. The inspector at the table will verify that the voter is qualified to vote, and upon verification the voter will sign the Roster of Voters and will be issued a ballot. Only one ballot will be issued to each qualified voter. The completed ballot should be folded, and submitted to the inspector at the appropriate table, to be placed in the ballot box by the election official. Only those persons who are present at the Election Meeting will be allowed to vote: no absentee or "proxy" voting will be allowed. Voters are not required to attend the entire meeting, although they shall be encouraged to do so. Voters may deposit their ballots into appropriate ballot boxes immediately after receiving and marking them.
