RILEY COUNTY - The Riley County Clerk's Office was notified on October 31st of a clerical error in the local redistricting map which caused four streets to be in the area of Sunset Cemetery to be in the incorrect district.
Stratton Circle, Edgerton Avenue, Meadowmere Court and Westview Drive were incorrectly listed in the 67th State District instead of the 66th State District.
This error caused the incorrect state representative candidates to be listed on the ballots for the 101 registered voters in that area.
Ten voters have already cast their ballots during advance voting and will not be eligible to vote for the corrected district. The remaining 91 voters will receive ballots with the correct district, 66th District in the State Representative Race.
Staff with Riley County have reviewed the redistricting maps to verify accuracy for the remaining ballots.
The 67th District includes a total of 16,081 registered voters who are choosing between Mike Dodson (Rep) and Kim Zito (Dem) for State of Kansas Representative. The 66th District Representative is Sydney Carlin (Dem) who is running uncontested in the 2022 election. Candidates have been notified of the error.
