Absentee ballot mailed to voters includes obsolete instructions
By George Bennett

Thursday, August 12, 2004

About 22,000 Palm Beach County voters received absentee ballots this week with outdated instructions telling them their signatures must be witnessed or their votes won't count.

A Florida law that took effect July 1 eliminates the requirement that a witness sign an absentee voter's ballot.

Elections Supervisor Theresa LePore said she and other elections employees didn't notice that a paragraph of instructions on the return envelope for the ballot included a sentence stating that "failure to sign this certificate and have my signature property (sic) witnessed will invalidate my ballot."

Elections officials discovered the problem Monday after an initial wave of absentee ballots had been mailed to voters. Elections employees crossed out the incorrect instructions by hand for ballots mailed Tuesday and Wednesday, LePore said. She expected correct instructions to be ready for mailing as soon as today.<snip>
