    Click here for a sample ballot.
  • Each voter will be offered a “markup” version of the revised charter to use for
    reference and to consider the proposals in context. Voters will be able to see
    wording that is to be deleted, wording that is to be added, and wording that is
    to be transferred without change from the Charter to new Village ordinances.
    There is a key on the cover page to help voters understand the markup revisions.
    Click here for a copy of the Charter markup.
  • There will be eight display tables (labled A through H) located around the room
    at which voters can see side-by-side comparisons of the changes in each of the
    21 proposed revisions. These displays are best used in conjunction with the
    charter markup document so that the voter can focus on each proposal
    individually while placing proposed changes in context within the entire markup.
