Auditor says general election ballots late

COUNTY – Shelby County Auditor and Election Commissioner Mark Maxwell said this week that ballots for the general election are late to arrive.
    Maxwell said this year there was a condensed period of time from the election certification deadline to the first day ballots can be issued, which was October 7.  “That is 11 ½ days for printing companies to produce proofs for the counties’ review and okay for printing,” he said.  “Then a two-day shipping.”  In Shelby County, with all the shared election contests, there are 22 different ballot styles.  Ballots were expected to be here Oct. 14.
