Farmers Cautioned
To Certify Ballots
Farmers were reminded today of a very important part of the election process for Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation (ASC) community committeemen, especially where ballots are mailed in to the ASCS county office. In Rappahannock County, the deadline for returning ballots in the community elections is September 17,1968.
H. S. Barksdale, Chairman, ASC County Committee points out that two envelopes have been mailed with the ballots sent to all eligible voters of record in the county office. One envelope is plain and the other has a statement printed on the back which the farmer needs to sign. A witnessed mark will also qualify as a signature.
The ballot should be marked and sealed inside the plain envelope; growers are cautioned not to enclose any other material. Also,' do not write on the plain envelope. This assures the secrecy of your vote.
The plain envelope should then be put inside the envelope with the statement on the back. This! statement is a certification that the ballot was marked by the farmer personally without undue influence by any person. The; envelope should then be mailed or otherwise delivered to the ASCS county office.
“Be sure to sign this statement on the back of the outside envelope,” the Chairman urges. “If it is not signed, the ballot will not be considered as a vote.”
