Please sign the flap of the envelope and print your name on the bottom of the back of the envelope. While the back of the envelope will need to be signed by a voting member for it to be valid, you will not need to put your name on the ballotitself, in order to keep it anonymous. Each ballot must be postmarked by Saturday, April 30th to be counted. Please include only one ballot per mailed envelope.
