This notice is to inform you that there were errors in the spelling of some candidates' names on the ballot originally sent to you for the election to be held on September 7, 2002. To address these errors, the Election Board has mailed corrected ballots to all voters eligible to receive them. The corrected bal lot can be identified by a red bar printed at the top of the ballot. Only one ballot will be accepted from each voter. If you have already returned the origi nal ballot and the corrections do not impact your vote, it is not necessary for you to mark and return this corrected ballot. The original ballot will be accepted and tabulated. In the event that a voter returns both ballots, the cor rected (red bar) ballot will be the only one accepted.
