My county has only one person attending the conference. Does my county have to designate an alternate? No. It is not necessary to list an alternate if a delegate is named, Whose ballots may the state associations of counties /parishes /boroughs receive? Your state association of counties /parishes /boroughs is allowed to pick up any unclaimed ballots from counties/parishes/boroughs that have registered delegates. The pick -up for state associations is Sunday afternoon (2 to 5 pm) during the conference. The state association may then cast those ballots in the election. My county does not want our state association to pick up our votes. How does my county go about indicating this decision? You must check the box that says "If my ballot is not picked up, I DO NOT AUTHORIZE my state association to pick zip or cast my county's vote. I understand that my county's votes will NOT be cast if I select this option." Remember that your county's votes will not be cast at all with this option if your delegate does not pick up the ballot. If I do not get my credentials form into the NACo office by July 1, may I become credentialed on site at the conference? Yes. You may bring the original credentials form signed by your chief elected official or fill out the on -site ballot form. By signing the on -site ballot form you declare that you and the other conference attendees from your county have agreed that you are the voting delegate for your county. You must be registered for the conference to be able to vote. What would happen if more than one registered attendee from my county fills out the on -site ballot form? If there is confusion as to who the authorized delegate is, and more than one person claims to be your county's authorized delegate, officials from your county will need to resolve the dispute by 1 p.m. PDT on Sunday July 24, 2016. Unless the dispute is resolved, your county's votes will not be counted. To resolve the dispute, all registrants who filled out the on -site ballot form need to agree as to who is authorized to cast their county's votes and communicate that to Alex Koroknay- Palicz at the credentials desk by 1 p.m. PDT on July 24. How do I get my ballot? When you submit your credentials form NACo staff prints out a paper ballot to bring to the NACo Annual Business Meeting. In order to vote you will need to pick up this paper ballot at the NACo Credentials Desk. Your county has until 1 p.m. on Sunday July 24 to come to the Credentials Desk and pick up your ballot. if you do not pick it up by I p.m. your state association can then pick up your vote until 5 p.m. unless you check the box on the form to not permit them. If you check that box and do not pick up your own ballot your county WILL NOT be permitted to vote. What would happen if I've picked up my ballot, but I need to leave before the election on Monday? If you have picked up the ballot for your county but won't be present to cast it at the NACo Annual Business Meeting on Monday morning, you can give that ballot to a delegate from your same county, from another active member in your state, the head of your state delegation, or your state association president or president's designee. To do this, you ( transferer) and the person you are handing the ballot to (transferee) must sign the Record of Ballot Transfer form on the back of your ballot. My county won't be attending this year's Annual Conference, can we still vote? Yes. Your county can still have its votes counted without attending the conference, but one person from your county still needs to register. You must have at least one person registered by 12 PM PDT on July 19. If you register, do not plan to attend and wish to vote, you MUST designate your state association president as your delegate on the Credentials Form. Your state association president or his /her designee will pick up and cast your ballot. F -2 Page 76
