I feel relieved to have the election process completed. It was a long day with thankfully few bumps in the road. Grant County had the largest voter turnout statewide! I’m thankful for the many poll workers who showed up to ensure a great election experience. My staff deserves lots of credit and my full appreciation. You ladies rocked it! Thank you JoAnn Ziegler Harper Susan George Alicia Reel Bethany Berg Drake Linda Hedrick and Sara Miller.

An oversight was discovered in the wording for the Excess Fire Levy. A $ was used in the levy amounts. It is confusing because the amounts reflected are in CENTS not dollars.

Although it is too late to reprint the ballots, it was decided to cover the incorrect information on the paper ballots with stickers that reflect the correct wording for the levy. The ExpressVote machines are being re-programmed with the corrected ballot.

The ballot will now read:
The additional levy shall be on Class I property 1.25 cents per $100.00 of assessed value; on Class II property 2.5 cents per $100.00 of assessed value and on Class III and IV property 5.0 cents per $100.00 of assessed value.

I apologize for this error and the confusion that it caused. Correcting the ballot has been my top priority this week. Thank you for your understanding.
Respectfully,

Lora Bennett
Grant County Clerk
