WAUSAU, WI (WSAU-WAOW) — Election officials in Wausau confirmed that two voters received incorrect ballots during in-person, absentee voting at City Hall this week.
WAOW TV reports that the voters got ballots for the 2020 Presidental election instead of this year’s mid-term.
City Clerk Kaitlyn Bernarde acknowledged the error and said her staff worked quickly to correct it, saying “during in-person Absentee Voting this week 2 voters were given November 3, 2020, General Election ballots instead of November 8, 2022, General Election ballots. The incident was quickly brought to our attention, and we spoiled the ballots and issued the correct one to the voters.”
She added that the ballot folders were checked to ensure that there were no other 2020 ballots in them, and there is no reason to believe that any mail-in voters received the wrong ballot.
