An error on ballots printed for Ellis County has delayed advanced voting in the county.
Advanced voting was scheduled to start at 8 a.m. Monday at the Ellis County Administrative Center in Hays, but County Clerk and Election Officer Donna Maskus informed Hays Post late Sunday that her office is delaying advanced voting.
The error on the ballot was identified Friday in the race between incumbent state Sen. Rick Billinger, R-Goodland, and challenger Larry Dreiling, D-Hays.
Maskus declined to comment more on the process Monday and said she was talking with County Counselor Bill Jeter and the Kansas Secretary of State’s office.
