DEARBORN, Mich. (Michigan News Source) — About 9,000 Dearborn voters are getting a second ballot in the mail after city officials accidentally sent out absentee ballots listing a man who isn’t even running for City Council.

The corrected ballots—omitting Mohammed Shegara, who withdrew from the City Council race in April—were expected to reach voters by October 11 and should already be in mailboxes this week.

City Clerk George Darany called the incident a “correctible oversight,” but some critics are calling it a breakdown in election oversight just weeks before Election Day.

“The clerk’s office has not only wasted taxpayer dollars but also put the city at risk for lawsuits that could cost even more,” Sami Elhady, Darany’s challenger for clerk, said. 

The city has not released a cost estimate for the second mailing. Each new ballot, however, carries a fluorescent green sticker reading “Please vote this updated ballot.”

Council members acknowledged the error at their Oct. 7 meeting, but insist it will not alter the results of the Nov. 4th election.
