Ballots in question in North Stonington due to missing signatures

Hundreds of ballots that were cast in North Stonington in recent weeks may not count after local election officials instructed voters not to sign their names on ballot envelopes, a step that is required during early in-person voting.

North Stonington’s Republican and Democratic Registrars of Voters issued a press release on the town’s website on Saturday afternoon instructing voters who cast a ballot via early in-person voting between Oct. 21 and Oct. 31 to return to their voting location to “correct their ballot.”

“Through October 31, voters were inadvertently misinformed about the need to sign their early voting ballot envelope,” the release said. “As a result, it is believed that ballot envelopes submitted during this period went unsigned by voters, which is required by law.”

The release does not state how many voters in North Stonington failed to sign their ballot envelopes.
