Ballot Flaws Reported
- Share via
The City Council directed the city attorney to investigate after City Treasurer Alice DeLong complained of format inconsistencies and typographical errors in the sample ballot for the March 3 election.
DeLong, a candidate for reelection, asserted that the published ballot sent out to all registered voters may violate a section of the state elections code that specifies uniform type size and weight and uniform spacing in candidates’ statements.
DeLong’s statement appears in the publication in single-spaced block form, while others are double-spaced with indented paragraphs.
