Writer wants to know if box had to be completely filled in for write in to count

Comments re article 70977 Election Nov 2014 Why were some writeins not reported Wendy Janes writes:
Hi, Ed, I was just informed that for the write-in votes the blocks were suppose to be colored in completely. That if you just put a check mark the vote was not counted. Is this true? - Wendy Janes
Thanks, Wendy Janes: There are a lot of questions about how the the votes yesterday were validated. One of the write in candidates, Ben Arnold, has written to us saying, "My interpretation of the statutes would indicate a valid vote is recorded with only my last name written even without a box indication. Yesterday, he was much more concerned about problems at the polls and by problems created by the eligible voter rosters for city voters. He thinks that may have had a signficant, if not a determing, effect on the outcome of the election. He's expected to make a statement later today.
