Vote By Mail Instructions Had Typo: Waltham City Clerk

WALTHAM, MA — Some of the Vote By Mail ballot packages sent to Waltham voters for the November Election Day had the wrong instructions, Waltham City Clerk said Wednesday.

After the clerk's office discovered the error in the latest round of Vote By Mail ballot packages, they sent out a notice to voters and posted the correct instructions on the website.

"The instructions are fine, with the exception of the September 1, 2020 date which is in the box at the bottom of the page," said the clerk.

The Nov. 3 ballot must be postmarked by Nov. 3 and received by Nov. 6 in order to be counted. Ballots received by 8 p.m. on Nov. 3 don't require a postmark.

Earlier instructions in the voter packages were used for the Sept. 1 primary election.
