This is a very long and complicated ballot. You might be tempted to just vote on the key races and ignore the rest of the ballot, especially the Amendments and the School Board Referendum.
With every taxing entity in the State coming after you for more taxes, you should take the time to get informed and vote on every Amendment and The school Board Property Tax Referendum. (I voted NO) These issues affect you directly, and they especially affect your wallet.
Given the complexity of this ballot, you should make your ballot decisions before hand and take them with you to the polling place. It's just way to much to try to remember.
