WILKES-BARRE, LUZERNE COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU)— More than 1,500 Wilkes-Barre voters will receive replacement mail-in ballots because of a glitch.
Luzerne County Manager Romilda Crocamo tells 28/22 News the ballots sent out were correct, but the file that correlates the precinct and the ballot file did not match.
Crocamo says affected voters in wards 2 to 8 and 14 to 20 were already informed the original ballot they received has been voided and a replacement ballot will be sent well before the deadline.
Below is a timeline of important dates for the upcoming November 7th election.
- October 23 – Last day to register for the November election
- October 31 – Mail-in and absentee ballot applications must be received
