1:10 p.m. City of Mulberry reports voting issues for its special election

Channel 2 Gwinnett County Bureau Chief Matt Johnson learned about voting issues for Mulberry’s first city council election.

Some voters were put in the wrong district and voted incorrectly. The people who have already voted cannot vote again.

The City of Mulberry released the following statement:

“Last week the Gwinnett County Board of Registrations and Elections (”GCBORE”) was made aware of an issue related to the districting for the Special Election for the City of Mulberry. Upon investigating this issue, the GCBORE confirmed that 337 registered voters were placed in the incorrect council district and that 56 of these 337 registered voters had already cast their ballots during the Advanced In-Person (“AIP”) voting period.

These voters, as well as the candidates for the City Council for the City of Mulberry, are being notified of this error, which only impacts votes for the Special Election for the City of Mulberry and does not impact votes for the General Election, which is a separate ballot. The 56 voters who cast their ballot in the Special Election for the City of Mulberry during AIP voting cannot vote again.

On Election Day, two additional Gwinnett County Elections employees will be onsite at the City of Mulberry Election Day polling location — Hamilton Mill United Methodist Church Student Center, 1450 Pine Road, Dacula — to manually issue correct and appropriate ballots to any of the remaining 281 impacted voters.”

According to county officials, the precincts at Mount Paran Church of God, 1700 Allgood Rd NE and at Kell High School, 4770 Lee Waters Road will be open until 7:20 p.m. after delays in the morning from equipment issues.

Officials said “Voters should be aware that, due to federal races on the ballot, anyone casting a ballot at these precincts during the extended hours will need to vote via a provisional ballot.”
