By now most of us have received our mailed primary ballots

I got mine on Thursday and I've taken a few days to look everything over. The ballot must be filled out, and placed into the secrecy envelope. Secrey envelope is redesigned this year - printed yellow and marked "Official Election Ballot" on the outside. We don't sign or date the secrecy envelope.

The secrecy envelope slides into the pre-addressed outer envelope, and that envelope is also clearly marked. It shows a barcode, a box with an "X" and where to sign one's name. It says "Today's date here" with boxes where we write the date. Only the hopelessly confused (or perhaps first-time voters) could mess this up, and many of us have already voted by mail at least 3 or 4 times.

Anyone who fails to complete the "signature" and "today's date" on the outer envelope will not get their vote counted, so please double check before mailing.
