County mailing correct ballots to city GOP voters affected by error
Lackawanna County planned Monday to mail correct ballots to 545 Republican voters in Scranton who, due to a printer’s error, were recently sent ballots for the 2024 primary election instead of the upcoming primary May 20.
The GOP voters who received those incorrect ballots should discard or destroy them, county Election Director Beth Hopkins said.
County officials alerted the public to the error Saturday, noting in a news release that the company that printed the ballots “apparently selected the wrong Republican ballot file to print for Scranton voting precincts.” The 545 ballots in question were the only erroneous ballots of the more than 12,000 mailed to voters from both parties for the coming primary, Hopkins said in the release.
Reached Monday morning, Hopkins said the printing company, Election Systems & Software, reprinted correct ballots Saturday and sent them to Scranton from Alabama via a courier.
