Lucas County elections officials are investigating ways to avoid a repeat of
what happened in the March 4 primary election, when 921 absentee ballots
were disqualified because voters failed to seal them in ballot envelopes
that were too small.
Daniel Pilrose, county elections director, said larger ballot envelopes are
being ordered for the Nov. 4 election, and he said more explicit directions
printed on the back of the envelope might help reduce the number of
disqualified votes.
Some other large Ohio counties said they also disqualified ballots left
outside the identification envelope.
Local elections officials took action to fix the problem after The Blade on
Sunday reported that of 17,676 absentee ballots in Lucas County that were
received by Election Day, 1,570 were disqualified for a variety of reasons.
