This video shows you how to complete the ballot and the certification envelope for returning it by mail or in person.

 

 

The video does not cover how to make sure your witness fills out part of the certification envelope correctly. So here is the complete information required of the witness:

  1. Witness signature
  2. Date
  3. Street address
  4. City 
  5. State
  6. Zip code

Make sure your witness does not abbreviate the name of the city or neglect to put a full address on the envelope.
