According to the registrar, the mistake impacts voters in the county Board of Supervisors District 4 special election and less than a dozen voters in the city of Chula Vista special election.
The San Diego County Registrar of Voters office found that around 1% of voters for the Nov. 7 special election may have received duplicate ballots, it was announced Wednesday.Following discovery of the duplicate ballots, the registrar's office"immediately contacted the print and mailing vendor to determine what happened and how many voters were impacted," according to a statement from the office.
"The process of suspending a mail ballot packet is one of the safeguards in place to ensure only one ballot from a single voter is allowed to be counted," the statement reads."The barcode on each return envelope is tracked and when suspended, our system will stop it from being processed.
More options to vote in person start Oct. 28. Voters can use any vote center around the county. Select vote centers will be open daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. until the final day of voting, Nov. 7, when all vote centers will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.
