519 voters receive wrong ballots in Stonington, CT, in early voting glitch | 28 Oct 2024 | On the second day of early voting last week, as many as 519 voters received the wrong ballots in Stonington, Connecticut, where voters from two different state House districts use the same early polling place, Secretary of the State Stephanie Thomas said Monday. "The registrar was able to determine that one of the poll workers handed out the wrong ballot, so she very quickly and smartly sequestered those ballots," Thomas said. "And because early voted ballots are under seal and someone has signed them, they are contacting those voters and giving them an opportunity to come back and recast their ballot." Registrar of Voters Elissa Bass said 519 ballots were cast that day, but she believes only a few were given the one wrong one.
