Ballot error found in Fresno Unified board races

What happened

A ballot error was found in Fresno Unified school board races days before the election. The development involves contests for seats on the Fresno Unified School District Board of Education.

What is known

The error was identified before Election Day. The specific races affected, the type of ballot problem and the number of voters or ballots involved have not been stated.

What remains to be clarified

Election officials will need to explain whether corrected ballots were issued, whether voters must take any action and how the error will be handled before voting ends. The election date and the official record describing the problem have not been identified.

Why it matters

Ballot instructions and candidate listings are part of how voters select among school board candidates. Any change to a ballot should be communicated clearly to voters and election workers.

MyCounty.news will update this brief when the affected contests and the correction process are confirmed.
