An error in a mailing list has resulted in over 1,000 voters receiving a second absentee ballot. This issue affected 1,154 voters who had requested a ballot for the November 3 general election. The mistake occurred when a previous mailing list was inadvertently included, causing duplicates to be sent.
County election leaders have acknowledged the issue and are reassuring voters that the situation is under control. They have explained that ballots are tied to individual voters, preventing anyone from voting more than once.
Further details about the error and the county's response are available from the election department. Voters who received duplicate ballots can find more information through the county's resources.
