A ballot error is impacting 700 absentee voters in Shelby County, but supplemental ballots were sent out this week, WREG reports. According to the Shelby County Election Commission, most of the affected ballots did not include the 30th Judicial District races for circuit, chancery and criminal court positions, while a small portion of ballots omitted a referendum to amend the county charter. The commission blamed a “processing omission” for the mistake according to The Tennessee Journal.
