The Carson City Clerk-Recorder is resending ballots to all Carson City voters following the discovery of an error on ballots originally mailed to voters. 

The error was the incorrect labeling of Congressional District 2 candidate Lynn Chapman as a Democratic (DEM) candidate. The candidate is affiliated with the Independent American Party (IAP).  

• If you have already returned the original ballot, please complete and return the corrected ballot and ballot return envelope.

• All returned original ballots will be held until the corrected ballot is returned or the voter votes in person. If a corrected ballot from a voter who returned the original ballot is not returned and the voter does not vote in person, the Clerk-Recorder’s office will count the original ballot. These ballots will be counted after the return deadline (5 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 9). 

• If you have not returned the original ballot, discard the original ballot and ballot return envelope. Return the corrected ballot and ballot return envelope.

• No. 

• Yes

• No. Envelopes returned with more than one ballot will be rejected. 

• Return ballot envelopes have unique IDs assigned to the voter and in-person voters are tracked through Nevada’s Voter Registration Election Management System, ensuring that only one ballot will be counted. 

All returned original ballots will be held until the corrected ballot is returned or the voter votes in person. If a corrected ballot from a voter who returned the original ballot is not returned and the voter does not vote in person, the Clerk-Recorder’s office will count the original ballot. 

• All Carson City voters will receive new mail ballots. The error appeared on all ballots. 

• Mail ballots must be postmarked on or before Election Day (November 5) and received by the Clerk-Recorder by 5 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 9 (the fourth day after Election Day).
