Below are the ballot summaries and ballot questions that will appear on the ballot:
VILLAGE OF WELLINGTON REFRENDUM QUESTION NO. 1
Qualifying for Office
BALLOT SUMMARY: To facilitate timely preparation, printing and testing of ballots, the Supervisor of Elections has required that municipalities now submit their candidates for election at least 95 days prior to said election. To accommodate this, a Charter amendment establishing Wellington's official qualifying period to run for the Village Council as a two week period in November, rather than in January, is required.

BALLOT QUESTION: Shall the qualifying period for Village elective offices be in November?
___ Yes
___ No

VILLAGE OF WELLINGTON REFRENDUM QUESTION NO. 2
Village Canvassing Board
BALLOT SUMMARY: In multiple past municipal elections, the Supervisor of Elections has requested that Wellington designate the county canvassing board to canvass its elections, eliminating the need for Wellington to convene its own separate canvassing board. The proposed amendment eliminates redundancy and designates the county canvassing board to canvass Wellington elections.

BALLOT QUESTION: Shall the Palm Beach County Canvassing Board be designated to canvass Wellington elections?
___ Yes
___ No
