DENVER — After errors were found in the voting booklet, the Denver Clerk & Recorder’s Office will send out a mailer to voters with corrected information, the office announced Friday afternoon.
"Our recently issued TABOR Notice and Local Ballot Issue Notice contained proofing errors for ballot questions in the Spanish version of Ballot Measures 2J and 2K, and omitted comments for Ballot Measure 2I and Ordinance 307, which were timely received prior to the deadline," Denver Clerk & Recorder Paul D. Lopez said in a press release.
To correct the issue, Lopez's office updated its online materials and is sending a mailer to Denver voters immediately that contains corrected information.
The mailers will go to the households that received the original booklet. They should arrive next week.
It will cost $191,000 to send the mailers. That's $44,000 to print and $147,000 in postage.
"The 96-page booklet that is issued ahead of each election is a highly technical, legally required document with a six-day turnaround time between the deadline for comment submission and the printing date to comply with state law," Lopez said in the release. "Those constraints are an explanation, but they are not an excuse. As the elected Clerk I assume responsibility for this error and for making sure voters get correct information. It is unacceptable to our standards of excellence, and I have asked my team to review all processes and procedures for issuing ballot information to ensure this doesn’t happen again."
Voters with questions can reach Lopez's office by dialing 311, using option 8.
