Signing Your Mail Ballot

When signing your ballot envelope, please follow these instructions carefully:

• If the membership is owned jointly, only one of the joint owners needs to sign.
• If the membership is owned by a corporation, partnership, or other legal entity, including the estate of a deceased person, the person signing must place his or her signature on the first line and indicate his or her title or lawful representative capacity on the second line. For example:
  • A person signing for a partnership should sign “John Doe” on the top line and “Partner” on the second line;
  • A person signing for a corporation should sign “John Doe” on the top line and “President” (or other office) on the second line;
  • A person signing for a trade name should sign “John Doe” on the top line, and “owner” on the second line;
  • If the member is deceased, the personal representative of the estate should sign their name on the top line, and state “Jane Doe, Personal Representative of the estate of John Doe,” on the second line;
  • If a person is unable to write a signature, his or her mark will be accepted if a witness is present and signs “John Doe is unable to sign, but made his or her mark as his or her intended signature in my presence. Jane Doe, witness.
