Virginia Beach spent thousands of dollars on mail-in ballot reprint

VIRGINIA BEACH — As Election Day nears, thousands of residents across the city will mail in their ballots instead of voting in person.

Approximately 7,400 city residents received a corrected ballot last month after candidate names in several districts were printed in the wrong order.

City officials notified residents of the mistake Sept. 19, and have since mailed corrected ballots.

The cost to reprint corrected ballots was $6,223.84, according to Christine Lewis, the city’s director of elections and registrar. Virginia Beach uses business reply mail, which means the city only pays for return postage of ballots that are mailed via the U.S. Postal Service.
