The names of all candidates officially nominated to me on or before that date are reflected on the enclosed "Certification of Ballot" forms. Candidates for contested positions are listed alphabetically on the ballot in the manner required by the Texas Tax Code. To assist you in the election procedure, I have enclosed a Certification of Ballot and a suggested form of resolution for casting your vote for the candidate representing your type of taxing unit. Ballot forms for all three types of units are enclosed to make you aware of all nominees, even though only taxing units of a particular type may vote in the election applicable to that type of unit. The governing body of each taxing unit is entitled to one vote for the candidate of its choice from the names appearing on the appropriate Certification of Ballot. By November 15, 2001, each governing body must cast its vote for one of the nominees, formally adopt a resolution naming the person for whom it votes, and submit a certified copy to the chief appraiser. The vote must be by resolution. The resolution, or a certified copy thereof, together with the completed Certification of Ballot, must be delivered to Jim Robinson, Chief Appraiser, 2800 North Loop West, Houston, Texas 77092, or mailed to P. O. Box 920975, Houston, Texas 77292-0975 to arrive before Saturday, December 1, 2001. The outside of the envelope should be marked "Ballot for Board of Directors." On Tuesday, December 4, 2001, the chief appraiser will count the votes, declare the results, and notify the winners, the nominees, and the presiding officers of each taxing unit. A tie vote will be resolved by a method of chance chosen by the chief appraiser. ..... /' ..... \ '\ e Presiding Officers, October 18, 2001 Page 2 e '- -., These procedures do not apply to Harris County, the City of Houston, or the Houston Independent School District.
