Writing-In Candidates in a One-Candidate Election

In 2013, the Bi-Partisan (Republican & Democrat) Suffolk Board of Elections threw the Libertarian Candidates, off the Ballot.  (for 2017 info go to ChrisGarvey4DA.blogspot.com  )

You had to write-in the Libertarian Candidates on the paper ballots:

1. Gene Farmer for Treasurer; 
2. Christopher B. Garvey for District Attorney; 
3. Michael R. Houze for Sheriff. 

Look for the Write-in space in the column under that office,  and 
write-in the name of your choice.
In fact, you can write-in anyone you want. It's not as though the ballot presents you with a lesser-of-two-evils. All five of the major parties have placed the same incumbents on the ballot, in this Stalinist Election.

There were There were 648 write-in votes, .38%, for District Attorney.
