Some early voters in Richmond received an incorrect ballot

The Richmond Office of Elections issued an apology this weekend after discovering that some voters received an incorrect ballot on the first day of early voting Friday.

According to the office, the error impacted the House of Delegates races in Precincts 310 (Gilpin), 505 (VCU and Oregon Hill) and 607 (Downtown).

"We deeply apologize to all affected voters, community partners, and candidates for this error," General Registrar David Levine wrote in a statement. "Our goal is to conduct elections with integrity, transparency, and accuracy. We are committed to making this right and ensuring that every voter has the correct ballot and the opportunity to have their voice heard."

This is the first election since Levine was hired to the role. An interim registrar oversaw the primary elections after the resignation of Keith Balmer. The interim registrar lived in Chesterfield, and thus was not eligible for the permanent post.
