Harrison Ballot Error Caught

Kootenai County Clerk Cliff Hayes announced today that County Elections’ personnel made an error on the City of Harrison’s ballot instructions. “The instruction should have said vote for three City Council candidates, but the instruction said vote for two,” Hayes said. “We apologize for our error, and thank Harrison’s City Clerk for bringing it to our attention.” Hayes noted that County Elections’ staff immediately ordered corrected ballots, and arranged for their printing & delivery in time for next Tuesday’s election. “Seven voters requested absentee ballots by mail; only three ballots have been returned to us. We are now in the process of contacting these three voters plus one voter who voted in-person absentee on an incorrect ballot”, Hayes said/Kootenai County Clerk’s Office news release. More here.
