This week some Greenbelters who requested and were sent a mail-in ballot prior to May 14, received a notice via email that it may be incorrect.
Due to an error in production, some voters may have received a ballot for the wrong party.
“You will receive your replacement ballot some time over the course of the next two weeks,” advised the email. “It will be marked Replacement Ballot Inside.”
Residents should vote with and return only the replacement ballot in the return envelope marked Replacement Envelope.
Anyone who was affected will receive two ballots. The second ballot says REPLACEMENT BALLOT, and the first should be destroyed along with its envelope.
For anyone who has already returned the first ballot, the local election office is able to identify these ballots and secure them. These ballots have been voided and the voter should mark and return the replacement ballot to ensure the ballot is counted.
Additional information should be included in the replacement ballot packet.
