Yavapai County takes the election process very seriously and when issues arise, we do everything we can, as quickly as possible, to resolve them. In this instance, the vendor we use made a printing error on 3,944 sample ballots. Upon discovering the error, we worked diligently with the vendor to determine the scope of the problem and to implement an action plan to correct it. In this case, corrected sample ballots will be mailed to each affected household by Tuesday March 5, 2024.
