Mailing of some Pima County early ballots delayed
Source: Tucson Sentinel

The Pima County Recorder’s Office has delayed the mailing of some ballots because of a problem with the voter rolls that assigned more than 500 voters to the wrong school district.
County officials and their private contractor, Runbeck Election Services, were expected to deliver the last packet of roughly 89,000 early ballots to the U.S. Postal Service on Monday, Oct. 14, according to the Recorder’s Office.
Between Wednesday, Oct. 9, and Sunday, Aug. 13, [sic] more than 386,000 ballots were delivered to USPS, according to county officials.
Oct. 14 is the federal Indigenous Peoples’ Day holiday, which will further delay the progress of the ballots to mailboxes, as postal employees won't be making deliveries.
There are so many choices for voters in this year’s election that county officials had to use a two-card, four-page ballot, with contests for elected officials on the front page of the first card and the propositions on the back page of the first card and both the front and back pages of the second card.
