MIDLAND COUNTY, Texas — The Midland County Elections Office has fixed the transposition error on the ballots for Precinct 402.
The Election's Office spoke with the vendor about the issue and it was fixed as of 2pm this afternoon.
A Midland County Elections representative went to all early voting locations and confirmed that all ballots were good. Paper ballots will no longer needed to be used for voters in Precinct 402.
This error had affected the Midland ISD School Board race.
"We discovered this morning that there was an error in the programming from our vendor. They actually transposed the new redistributing splits for MISD," said Carolyn Graves, Midland County Elections Administrator.
This morning, early voting locations had been notified about the situation and were aware about what to do for Precinct 402 voters.
Despite this error causing some confusion Monday morning, the Election's Office wants to reassure voters that their vote will get counted.
"I am confident for one thing it will make sure everyone can see it, they’ll still be checked in. Their vote will count and it’s a glitch but we caught it in time," said Graves.
We will continue to update this story as we receive more information. People can contact the Midland County Elections Office for any questions.
