The Athens County Board of Elections discovered a ballot printing error for Nelsonville voters that did not include an issue to abolish the city charter and return it to a statutory form of government.
Precinct officials discovered the misprint and reported it to the elections board. Athens County Board of Elections Director Tony Brooks confirmed that 98 voters had cast paper ballots before the printing error was discovered.
Brooks told WOSU that his office has been contacting the voters by phone to let them know they can return to vote on Issue 23.
The board switched voters to electronic voting machines, which were not affected by the error.
Voters who believe their ballots were affected can go to their voting precinct or call the elections board at 740-592-3201.
