Vancouver, Wash. – During a check of precinct information against the county’s Geographic Information Systems’ data, Clark County Elections found that 172 voters received ballots for the Nov. 7 election that were based on a precinct other than the one where they live. The error means those voters received ballots with incorrect races and measures.

The voters have been identified, and Elections has flagged their incorrect ballots. Elections sent each voter a new, corrected ballot and a letter explaining that an error was made.

If the voters do not return the second, correct ballot but instead return only the first incorrect ballot, Elections only will count votes for contests and races appropriate to the precinct.

Voters who received the second ballot and have questions can contact Clark County Elections at 360.397.2345.
