Arlington Reports Issue With Some Mail-In Ballots
Some voters were sent incorrect primary ballots before the error was corrected. The Town Clerk does not believe the issue is widespread.
ARLINGTON, MA — Ballots for the Sept. 1 primary are in the mail, and some voters were sent incorrect ballots before the Town Clerk corrected the error, officials said Friday. Each ballot lists the precinct numbers in the top right, so residents are asked check their ballot by comparing the precincts listed on a ballot to the number on the upper right corner of the mailing labels.
If you received an incorrect ballot or are unsure about a ballot you have returned, contact the Clerk's Office at 781-316-3070 or by emailing jbrazile@town.arlington.ma.us.
The Clerk's Office does not believe the issue is widespread but would like to inform the public, so they can remedy any ballot issues before the election.
