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.
