Gales, Bailey
Two More File
For Town Board
Two additional candidates
Bled as candidates for the town
council before Thursday's dead
line. They are William Gales of
Ruffin Street and Jerry Bailey
af Marginal Street.
The voters may have a choice
Df voting for five candidates
from the eleven who have filed
to run.
Dr. Ramey Kemp, chairman
of the Davie County Board of
Elections, said Monday after
noon that there will be two
ballots in this special election.
Those voters who favor the in
corporation of the Town of Cool
eemee shall vote a ballot upon
which shall be printed the
words: "FOE incorporation of
Town of Cooleemee, and those
voters who are opposed to the
Incorporation of Town of Cool
eemee shall vote a ballot upon
which shall be printed the
words: "AGAINST In
corporation of Town of Cool
nnm nfi 99

Also in the special election
each qualified voter shall be
entitled to vote for five (5)
candidates for Town Council
upon a ballot on which shall be
listed, in alphabetical order, the
names of all persons who filed
notice of candidacy with the
Board of Elections during the
period previously designated.
Unlike a general election, Dr.
64Hi Yeor
No. 21
Larry White
Kemp pointed out that in a
special election such as this, the
voter "shall be entitled to vote
for five candidates" but the
rules do not say that the ballot
will be void if the voter fails to
vote for as many as five. They
may vote for any number of
candidates up to live, which is
the number of vacancies to be
filled.
However, Dr. Kemp did say
that to vote for more than five
candidates would void the bal
lot.
In the special election, if the
majority votes for in
corporation, the three (3) candi
dates for the council who re
ceive the largest number of
votes shall be declared elected
for terms of four years or until
their successors are elected and
qualified, and the two (2) candi
dates for town council who re
ceive the next largest number of
votes cast shall be declared
elected for terms of two (2)
years or until their successors
are elected and qualified. In
case of a tie between opposing
candidates, the Board of Elec
tions shall determine the result
by lot.
Dr. Kemp also said that if the
town should become in
corporated, the future elections
would require the voter to mark
their ballot for as many candi
dates as there are offices to fill.
