Tulare County Voters Received Duplicate Ballots for Nov. 3 Election
Tulare County Registrar of Voters Michelle Baldwin confirmed that approximately 7,800 voters received duplicate mail-in ballots due to a printing error by vendor ProVote Solutions. The mistake occurred on Oct. 13, causing concern among residents in the city of Tulare and surrounding areas ahead of the Nov. 3 midterm election. Election officials stated that safeguards are in place to prevent double voting, as each ballot is tracked via barcode and signature verification. Voters who received two ballots were instructed to destroy the duplicate rather than return it.
