It is my pleasure to provide you the 2018 Candidate Manual. This year's edition is newly revised and edited and should be easier to use.

The election calendar is updated to show the filing dates, which have changed occasionally over the past few years. The numbers in parenthesis at the end of each date's activities is a link to the actual law that sets the particular date. In the online version of the manual, the link will take you directly to that section of law just by clicking on it.

I am available for any questions regarding this manual or its contents.

Best of luck to all those who become candidates in 2018. It should be a very interesting election year! The Kalamazoo County Clerk & Register of Deeds Office stands ready to assist you with any questions you may have.

Sincerely,

. Timothy A. Sno , CMC, MCCO Kalamazoo County Clerk & Register of Deeds

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

I understand there is a new voting system this year. What should I know about it?

A new voting system from Election Systems & Software (ES&S) was purchased by the State of Michigan in 2017 and was used for the first time at the November 2017 City Election.

The new tabulator, called a OS200, is an upgraded version of our previous M1 00. This tabulator has a large color screen to provide the voters and election inspectors much more information about issues that arise if there is a problem with a ballot being tabulated.

Voters will also notice that their ballot is being tabulated somewhat faster than the M1 00 system.

Is there also a new accessible voting device?

Yes, the new ExpressVote replaces the AutoMARK, which had been used since 2006. These devices were also purchased by the State of Michigan.

The ExpressVote works in a very similar method to the AutoMARK, but is considerably smaller. The voter may use the touch screen or press buttons to cast votes.

Instead of using an actual ballot, the ExpressVote prints out a list of all the candidates that the voter selected. This printed list is then tabulated in the OS200 along with all other ballots.

How does the optical scan voting system work?

Ballots are printed on heavy paper and are tabulated electronically. Voters must darken an oval to the right of the candidate's name in order for the vote to be counted. The tabulator is programmed not to count more votes than are allowed.

If I vote for more candidates than are allowed, does that spoil my entire ballot?

No. The tabulator is programmed to stop the tabulation process. The tabulator will beep and a message will appear on the tabulator screen. An Election Inspector will come to assist you and be able to explain your options.

Are write-in votes acceptable?

Yes. However only votes for qualified write-in candidates will be counted. If someone wants to be a write-in candidate, they must file an Affidavit with the appropriate Clerk by the second Friday before the election. If names are written in on the ballot and the person has not filed an Affidavit form, the votes are ignored.

If a vote is cast for a qualified write-in candidate, the candidate's name must be written in the space and the oval must be darkened for the vote to be counted.

How soon are ballots ready before an election?

This depends on many factors, including when the last proposal is received, when the ballot is approved for printing by the Michigan Bureau of Elections, and when proof ballots to candidates are mailed out. The ideal time is 45 days prior to an election, as that is when military and overseas ballots must be mailed (regular mail or e-mail), but that is not always possible. After ballots are delivered to the city and township clerks, they must be prepared for mailing, which could take a little additional time. It may also depend on the size of the jurisdiction and how many absent voter ballots need to be prepared.

How do military and overseas ballots work?

There is a newer procedure to assist those voters in the military and overseas to obtain their ballots. Michigan law (which reflects federal law), requires military and overseas ballots to be available 45 days prior to any election. This may not necessarily mean that regular absentee ballots are available. When official ballots are not yet available, a ballot can be e-mailed or a copy of a ballot can be mailed to a voter serving in the military (anywhere - including within the US), or who is overseas. The ballot must be returned to the local clerk by mail - it cannot be emailed. On Election Day, these ballots must be duplicated by election inspectors in order to be tabulated.

May anyone register voters? How does that work?

As Michigan Law stands now, there are no restrictions on who provides voter registration forms for completion. ID is suggested, but not required for voter registration, however photo ID is used in the polls on Election Day. Several groups obtain blank forms from the County Clerk's Office or from City or Township Clerk's offices. It is recommended that completed forms be returned as soon as possible. The County Clerk's Office will distribute all voter registration forms received to the appropriate local clerk to be added to the Qualified Voter File. Blank voter registration forms are also available online at www.michigan.gov/elections.

Who can circulate petitions?

Any registered voter may be the circulator of any petition in the State of Michigan.

How do you become a precinct election inspector?

Anyone who would like to be considered as an election inspector must complete a special application form at the city or township clerk's office where they would like to work. Any Michigan registered voter may work in any precinct in the State of Michigan. Election Inspector pay varies greatly throughout the State, however inspectors must receive at least the official minimum wage for their service. Election inspector training is held at least every 2 years and is conducted by the County Clerk or city or township clerk in larger communities. Inspectors must be paid for attending the required training.

New election inspectors are always needed. Contact your city or township clerk for additional information regarding becoming an election inspector. A blank application form is available online at www.michiqan.gov/elections.
