Even those who have already voted must send in a new ballot
May 13, 2021
LEWISTOWN A clerical error in the Mifflin County Elections Department has necessitated that new ballots be printed and distributed to Democratic Mail-in voters in Mifflin County.
According to a press release from Mifflin County Commissioner Kevin Kodish, John E. Knepp II cross-filed on both the Republican and Democratic tickets for a seat on the Mifflin County School Board. The first set of Democratic ballots printed failed to include Knepp on the ballots.
“It is an extremely unfortunate error by our office, and the only way to fix it is to reprint all the Democratic ballots and distribute them immediately to all those mail-in voters who received the incorrect versions,” said James Conway, Mifflin County Elections Director.
