sample ballot
Election dry run
A sample ballot is a replica of an official election ballot, distributed before voting day so voters can review candidates, measures, and ballot format.
Voters often receive sample ballots by mail or can find them online.
Some bring their marked sample ballot to the polling place as a reference: I filled out my sample ballot at home so I'd be ready.
