The "Under-Vote" Strategy

This November, as voters cast their ballots in precincts throughout St. Cloud, they will be presented with five (5) city council candidates for three (3) spots.  The top 3 vote-getters will be elected to the council.  Each voter can select up to three candidates.  This is where I need your help by under-voting.

An under-vote is where you cast fewer votes for an office than you are permitted to cast.  So, although you are free to mark up to three, I ask that you only mark my name.  If you feel strongly about another candidate, include them as well.  Just don't choose a third.  It's important because all the votes are totaled. 

Traditionally strong vote-getters like George Hontos and Sonja Berg will collect more than enough votes on their own.  They will most likely employ a similar strategy with their supporters. 

If you have any questions about this, please ask.  Thanks!
