County election officials sending new ballots to Laurel voters after ward mixup

YELLOWSTONE COUNTY — If you're a Laurel resident, you may be getting a letter in the mail soon asking for you to pay close attention to your mail-in ballot.

That's because there was a mixup at the Yellowstone County Election office with 1,400 ballots. Voters in Laurel's Ward 2 received a Ward 4 ballot, and vice versa.

"When something like that happens, we definitely notify all of the officials in the process, whether that be with the city or with the county," said Dayna Causby, the office's administrator.

According to Causby, after officials became notified of the incident, staff at the Yellowstone County Elections Office jumped into action, drafting letters for each voter in Ward 2 and Ward 4.
