FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What if I forgot to put my ballot in the secrecy envelope and I have already sealed my
white/blue envelope?
The secrecy envelope is not required for your ballot to be processed and counted. However, if you
wish to place your ballot in the secrecy envelope, you may open your white/blue envelope and
place the secrecy envelope (which contains the ballot) in the white/blue envelope and tape the
white/blue envelope closed.
