If you or someone you know does not receive the guide from the Secretary of State, you may view the information at www.voterguide.sos.ca.gov or you may pick up a copy of the guide at your local library or my office. INFORMATION ABOUT THE VOTING SYSTEM The voting system for Alpine County was implemented at the June 2006 Primary Election as a requirement of the federal Help America Vote Act (HAVA), enacted to improve the administration of elections in the United States, and California’s Proposition 41, the Voting Modernization Act (Prop. 41). The voting system meets all the HAVA requirements, including the requirement to have a voting system that is accessible for any disabled voters. The County contracted with Premier Election Solutions for the AccuVote OS, optical scan voting system for mail-ballot voting, and for the AccuVote TSX direct recording electronic voting system for accessibility for disabled voters. THE OPTICAL SCAN BALLOT AND VOTING SYSTEM: The system for mail ballots is the paper-based AccuVote OS voting system that uses an optical scan ballot. Your optical scan ballot is enclosed in this envelope. You will find a Voter Instruction Guide for the optical scan ballot in the Sample Ballot Pamphlet. The guide will give you complete instructions for voting the optical scan ballot. With the optical scan ballot, all races are on one ballot – look at both sides for all candidates and measures – to vote you will fill in the oval to the left of the candidate or measure of your choice. Please use a dark colored pen or pencil. (Preferably black or blue, but please do not use red.) After marking your ballot choices, you will return you ballot in the identification envelope, exactly as you have in the past. Presidential Primary Election * June 7, 2016 page 2 ---PAGE BREAK--- THE DIRECT RECORDING ELECTRONIC (DRE) VOTING SYSTEM: Under the Help America Voting Act, the accessibility requirements for accessible voting may be satisfied through the use of at least one direct recording electronic (DRE) voting system at each polling place. Because we vote by mail, and don’t have polling places, a DRE will be available at the County Clerk’s office for any voter. The DRE equipment can provide multi-lingual ballots, if required, provides an audio ballot for visually impaired voters, permits wheel-chair accessibility for persons with mobility impairment, prohibits over-voting in a contest, and warns if the voter has not cast a vote in every race. Our AccuVote TSX unit is a non-networked system that enables voters to cast a secure electronic ballot. The DRE unit that we use has a voter verified paper audit trail to provide a paper record of all ballots cast. RETURNING YOUR VOTED MAIL BALLOT: After voting, and completing the return identification envelope, you may return your vote by mail ballot by mail or by delivering to the County Clerk’s Office. Reminder: if you return your ballot by mail, please mail early! I RECOMMEND YOU MAIL YOUR BALLOT NO LATER THAN FRIDAY, MAY 27, 2016. You may return your ballot in person to the County Clerk’s Office, 99 Water Street, County Administration Building, Markleeville, California anytime between now and 8:00 p.m. on Election Day. Beginning January 1, 2016 postmarks count if your ballot is received within three days of the election (EC4103). An unsigned ballot may be counted if the voter signs an “Unsigned Ballot Statement” before 5pm on the eighth day after the election; the ballot must be received by election day or postmarked by election day (EC3019). COUNTING BALLOTS: Ballot tabulation is open to the public. Ballot tabulation/counting will commence at 8:00 p.m. in Board Chambers, Alpine County Government Center at 99 Water Street, Markleeville. Please feel free to come and observe the ballot tabulation process. We announce vote totals as precincts are counted and prepare a semi-official accounting at the end of the tabulation process. Voting results will be posted on the Alpine County website. We will have coffee and cookies available during the process.

Rowen (Dem) Presidential Primary Election * June 7, 2016 page 7 ---PAGE BREAK--- “Top 2” Primary in California What is a Top 2 Primary? A Top 2 Primary lets you cast one vote for any candidate (for most races), even if you are not in the same political party. The top 2 candidates – the ones who get the most votes in the primary – will be on the General Election ballot in November. Is Top 2 different from the last primary election? No. It became law in 2010 when we passed Prop 14. The June 2012 election was held under the Top 2 law. Before Top 2, each party could have one candidate on the General Election ballot for all party races. Now with Top 2, only two candidates get on the General Election ballot for most races – the ones who got the most votes in the primary – no matter what party they are from. What does party preference mean? Party preference refers to the political party you – or the candidate – is registered with. It’s listed under each candidate’s name on the ballot. The word “None” appears for candidates who are not registered with a party. For example: JOHN SMITH JANE DOE CHRIS JONES Party Preference: Democratic Party Preference: Republican Party Preference: None Do all offices on the June ballot follow the Top 2 rules? No. Top 2 applies to these voter-nominated offices: Congress Member Statewide offices (such as Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Attorney General, etc.) State Assembly Member Board of Equalization Can the Top 2 candidates be from the same party? Yes. The Top 2 candidates might be from the same party, different parties, or no party. If only 1 or 2 candidates run for an office, will they still run in the primaries? Yes. What ballot will I receive in June? All voters registered with a political party or not, will get the same ballot that will have: All candidates from all parties for voter-nominated and nonpartisan offices, and Any state and local measures. Presidential Primary Election * June 7, 2016 page 8 ---PAGE BREAK--- No-Party Preference voters Crossover Voting What is Crossover Voting? Presidential Primaries are especially unique because political parties have the ability to decide whether voters registered as No-Party Preference can "crossover" into their party, and vote for one of their candidates. For the June 7, 2016 Presidential Primary Election, the American Independent*, Democratic and Libertarian parties have allowed “crossover” voting. Vote-By-Mail voters who are registered as No-Party Preference and want to vote for one of those three respective parties can do so, but will first need to fill out a "crossover" ballot request. Please note that if you choose to request a “crossover” ballot, it will not change your registered party preference. Voters who are registered as No-Party Preference and would like to vote in the June 7th Presidential Primary for a Republican, Green, or Peace & Freedom Presidential candidate, must re-register to vote for one of those respective parties by May 23, 2016. *American Independent is a political party. It is not the same as being registered with No-Party Preference. What To Do Next: 1) What if you do not wish to request a "crossover" ballot? • No action is required, a "Nonpartisan" ballot will be mailed to you automatically. 2) How do you check if you are registered as No-Party Preference? • Contact the County Clerk’s Office at (530) 694-2281. 3) Want to re-register to vote? • To re-register online and change your party affiliation go to www.registertovote.ca.gov 4) How can you apply for a Vote By Mail Crossover Ballot? • Contact the County Clerk’s Office for a form.

DERLET Occupation: Physician, Professor, Author Age: Education and Qualifications: I care about people so I became a physician. Listening to my patients in rural Tuolumne County motivated me to run for Congress. Hearing their concerns, I learned of a new kind of pain and suffering created by the growing costs of everyday living, from housing to groceries. Increased healthcare costs top the list, with families paying excessive dollars for drugs, deductibles, and copays. I’ll fight to lower healthcare costs for everyone and make Medicare available beginning at age 55. I’ll support legislation that reduces the cost of education, increases the minimum wage, returns American jobs lost overseas, and helps small businesses succeed. Congress needs to increase consumer protection to counter deceptive Wall Street practices that take hard-earned dollars from families. I’ve experienced many aspects of the workforce, beginning at age 8 delivering newspapers, working in clerical, janitorial, shipping, ranching, and construction jobs. After earning my MD, I served 18 years as Professor and Chief of the Emergency Room, UC Davis Medical Center, supervising care of nearly 1 million patients. I’ve taught undergrads, medical students, and residents. I’ve published over 200 scientific research articles and served two terms as Hospital Chief of Staff. If elected, I’ll fight to keep Social Security and Medicare for the people and away from Wall Street privatization. I’ll back measures for local control of water rights, prioritize clean water standards by protecting our High Sierra forests and watershed, and fight to enact measures to halt global warming. Please visit www.derletforcongress.com. Robert W. Derlet STATEMENT OF CANDIDATE FOR UNITED STATE REPRESENTATIVE DISTRICT 4 TOM MCCLINTOCK Occupation: United States Representative Age: Education and Qualifications: America has enjoyed its greatest prosperity and happiness when it has known its greatest freedom. Our Founders created a society where we were free to make our own choices, enjoy the fruit of our own labors, take responsibility for our own decisions and lead our own lives with a minimum of governmental interference and intrusion. Government protected our fundamental rights and left us otherwise alone to live our own lives as we saw fit. Today, a very different vision competes for our future: an all- powerful government that commands our economic decisions, micro-manages our daily lives, and consumes more and more of our earnings. In the last eight years, it has disrupted our healthcare system, shrunk our family incomes, threatened our constitutional rights, doubled our national debt, overwhelmed us with illegal immigration and placed our children in danger of becoming the first American generation to be less well off than their parents. The election of 2016 will decide whether America becomes another failed socialist state or whether this generation of Americans revives and restores the founding American principles of individual liberty, constitutionally limited government and personal responsibility that produced the happiest, freest and most prosperous society in human history. You sent me to Washington to fight to restore the freedom that made America great, and I am doing everything in my power to do so. I am asking for your support to continue this fight. You can read more about my proposals at Tom McClintock Each Candidate’s Statement is volunteered by the candidate, and is printed at the expense of the candidate. Each statement is printed as submitted by the candidate without any correction of spelling or grammatical errors. Refer to the Sample Ballot for a complete list of the candidates. Presidential Primary Election * June 7, 2016 page 10 ---PAGE BREAK--- STATEMENT OF CANDIDATE FOR ASSEMBLY DISTRICT 5 MARK BELDEN Occupation: Businessman/Builder Age: 59 Education and Qualifications: I am a candidate for the Assembly because I understand the particular rural needs of our area of California. I will support legislation and policies that better suit the needs of my constituents with “common sense” legislation. Our elected representatives must be the voice of the people, not political parties or special interest groups whose sole purpose is to expand their ideology. Making public policy is not easy .It should not be. It should take into consideration the desires of all constituents as best as possible. Like many of you, I am committed to reducing government waste, stretching each tax dollar further than it has ever been before. As a steward of the people’s money we must not foolishly spend more than we take in and always be aware that every penny misspent will affect our future. That future is the one our children will inherit. I will also be a strong and proud leader of personal freedoms and rights. Your freedom to choose religion, education, sexual orientation, marriage, women’s choice or the and right to bear firearms will always be paramount. We must not allow our rights to be diminished in any way. My victory as a “no party preference” legislator will be the first in California’s history and a victory for the voters who support me in representing the 5th Assembly District. We as a legislative district will undoubtedly be looked upon as leaders and pioneers of future public policy. More education and qualification @ mcbelden.com Mark Belden STATEMENT OF CANDIDATE FOR ASSEMBLY DISTRICT 5 ROBERT CARABAS Occupation: Retired Age: 69 Education and Qualifications: My parents were Greek immigrants; my father was a barber who died when I was seven. I understand what it means to take any job, be poorly paid and struggle to imagine a hopeful future. A union job on the Great Northern Railway made college possible. I graduated from UC Berkeley and became an oil company credit manager. I understand the good and harm that money can do. I am aware of hard work and low pay. For 35 years the lowest paid American workers haven’t gotten a raise, their wages haven’t grown with the economy, withholding $15,000 a year. That money can’t be spent in our communities and we are poorer for it. Our well- being depends upon a common economic foundation of living wages. It’s time to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour. I hate seeing money wasted. Other industrial nations provide healthcare to all their citizens and get better results at half the cost. An American middle class family of four wastes $8,000 a year on healthcare, enough to educate their family or buy a home. Let’s get a California Single Payer Healthcare system. With five grandchildren, I bristle at global warming denial that has resulted in progressively less water. Today, 13 million dead pines; another 120 million are at risk. To dispose of those trees at $1,000 each would cost $13 billion, the price of political inaction. Those trees represent the threat of catastrophic wildfire. If we don’t confront global warming it confronts us. robertcarabas.com Robert Carabas STATEMENT OF CANDIDATE FOR ASSEMBLY DISTRICT 5 FRANK BIGELOW Occupation: Age: 61 Education and Qualifications: As your you’ve put your trust in me to protect taxpayers from Sacramento’s out-of-control spending and to defend our way of life. Despite all the work we’ve done together, it’s clear there are many problems left to solve. That’s why I’m asking for your trust to continue our fight for a stronger economy, a smaller state government, additional water storage for our communities and the quality education our children deserve. Our region’s unemployment rate remains higher than the rest of California and we simply must take action to provide economic opportunity for those who are out of work. That opportunity starts with a strong education. That’s why I supported a plan to invest in early childhood education and ensure our local schools get their fair share. And it’s also why I’m supporting a proposal to help our schools build new facilities to help all our children succeed. When it comes to strengthening our economy, I’ll continue to work on policies that not only create new jobs, but also keep the ones we have from being lost to other states. And I’ll continue to be an outspoken voice to help deliver water to our communities and invest in water storage projects for the future. I’d be honored with your trust and your vote to continue our fight for local jobs, increased water storage for our communities and to deliver an education that prepares students to compete in today’s economy. www.frankbigelow.com Frank Bigelow Each Candidate’s Statement is volunteered by the candidate, and is printed at the expense of the candidate.

But most importantly, I understand the duties we have in ensuring this great county is protected for the use and enjoyment of generations to come. With 15+ years of public service ranging from my time in the U.S. Marine Corps to my current employment as a law enforcement officer serving the community, I have the leadership and dedication to ensure our residents receive the highest level of safety and service. I understand the importance of maintaining a constant and direct line of communication with the residents to ensure issues and concerns are being addressed as they come up. It was when contemplating my candidacy that I realized something important. This election is not about me, it is about being part of something larger than myself. Strong, focused, and articulate leadership that will protect the County of Alpine and its residents is what I want to contribute.
