The Nomination Form 

When you are on the ballot page, you can start typing in the name of someone that is in the voter list. The election website will bring up a list of names possible from what someone has typed in. A name must then be chosen (clicked on) to fill the write in field or else the system will divert the field back to an empty space to be typed in again.

Click 'Peview Nomination' to go to the page to confirm your selections and subsequently "Submit My Nomination".
