1. How do I get more information about what is on the ballot?

Information is available from many sources including the official Sample Ballot/Publicity Pamphlet published by Prescott Valley as well as the news media, campaign committees and various organizations. A Sample Ballot/Publicity Pamphlet is mailed to each household within the Town in which an active registered voter resides. This mailing is about 30 days prior to the election.

2. What measures does the Town take to prevent voter fraud with the vote by mail process?

There are a number of safeguards built into the vote by mail process. The most important are the procedures for comparison of voters' signatures and the limitations on who may handle early ballots and related material which is tracked through a “Chain of Custody” of the ballots. Addresses are verified and updated during the request process before any ballots are mailed. In addition, the voter’s signature from the returned early ballot is verified.

3. Can I get assistance marking my ballot?

Yes, but only if you are unable to mark your ballot yourself. In that case, the law allows you to obtain assistance from a person of your choice. Ask a trusted relative or friend to help if you need assistance reading or marking your ballot.
