What: A vendor printing error caused some absentee voters to receive two ballots.
Where it stands: About 1,145 affected voters were sent a UPS notice to vote only one ballot and destroy the duplicate; a press release went out October 8. A written procedure covers returned duplicates (stamp, sealed transport, two-person reconciliation, chain of custody, separate holding of the affected voters' ballots).
Next: A Secretary of State investigator planned to call the director the next day, after which a statement was to be written with the county attorney.
