If you already sent in your ballot without a signature – your ballot will still be counted.  Make sure you use ink to mark the ballot and fill in all the bubbles to indicate your vote.  There is a 50% voter turnout requirement for this Adoption Election to be valid – so please participate and talk with your family and friends and let them know to send their ballots in the mail today.
