More Ballot info

As promised (or threatened), here are the lists of Council candidates.

I've gotten some questions about why some candidates' names appear more than once on the ballot. The answer is really simple: a candidate can be endorsed by more than one party. So, as can be seen here, John Picard - the Democratic Party candidate - is also endorsed by the Reform Party...so he appears in two spots.

If someone fills in the ovals for Picard in both the Democratic and Reform party rows, the tabulator will record only one vote for Picard. The election officials will then add Picard's Democratic votes and his Reform votes to determine how many total votes he got.

That's only of interest to election geeks like me...but everyone should be aware that these situations have been anticipated.
