Littleton Public Schools and Arapahoe County recently identified an issue with an address list that resulted in the omission of the Littleton Public Schools – School Director-At-Large contest from 59 mailed ballots.

Once the omission was identified, the County issued corrected ballots and contacted all affected voters via mail. County staff members also contacted voters via email and telephone, when possible.

Affected voters can vote and return their new, corrected ballot. If they have already returned the inaccurate ballot, it will be voided and the new ballot counted. Only one ballot per voter will be counted. 

All ballots must be returned to a drop box or vote center no later than 7 p.m. on Nov. 4. 

Every elector has the right to make their voice heard in contests for which they are eligible, and we make every effort to make certain that voter voices are heard. 

If you have questions, please call Arapahoe County at 303-795-4511 or email at elections@arapahoegov.com.
