ezs note: When I filled out my ballot, I was very careful. I filled out the bubble next to a candidate completely. I signed and dated the inner envelope. When your new name is not yet 'official', please use your legal name. In the outer envelope, write in the upper left-hand corner in BLOCK LETTERS your legal name, address, city or town, 2-letter state abbreviation, and ZIP code. Doing this might mean an extra five minutes... but it's worth it.
