If the ownership interest of the owner is not shown on the last equalized secured property t� assessment roll, such request must include evidence, satisfactory to the City, of the owner's proportional rights in the parcel. The City will provide the proportional ballot to the owner at the address shown on the assessment roll. Any request for a ballot to be mailed to another location must be made in writing and must include evidence, satisfactory to the City, of the identity of the person requesting the ballot. Each proportional ballot will be marked to show the date on which the ballot was provided, to identify it as a proportional ballot and to indicate the owner's proportional rights in the parcel. The City will keep a record of each proportional ballot provided to an owner. • Duplicate ballots If an assessment ballot is lost, withdrawn, destroyed or never received, the City will mail or otherwise provide a duplicate ballot to the owner upon request. The duplicate ballot will be marked to show the date on which the ballot was mailed or provided and to identify it as a duplicate ballot or a duplicate proportional ballot. The same procedure applies to duplicate ballots or duplicate proportional ballots which are lost, withdrawn, destroyed, or never received. • Marking and signing the ballot To complete an assessment ballot, the owner of the parcel must (1) stamp or mark the appropriate box supporting or opposing the proposed assessment, and (2) sign, under penalty of perjury, the statement on the ballot that the person completing the ballot is the owner of the parcel or the owner's authorized representative.
