'I was totally confused' Why a Helotes woman had to fill out her mail-in ballot a second time after already submitting
SAN ANTONIO — Dorian Olsen, who lives in Helotes, sent in her mail-in ballot for the 2024 election weeks ago. She was baffled when an additional ballot showed up in her mailbox.
“I was totally confused,” Olsen said, speaking with KENS 5 initially on Tuesday. “I thought, 'Well, maybe I messed up on the first one or something. I opened it, and it was a blank ballot that was identical to the first one.”
Olsen said she called the Bexar County Elections Department and was advised to tear up the second ballot. She was still left wondering why her ballot was classified cancelled, according to VoteTexas.gov.
Olsen reached out the political party she aligns with and city officials, stressing she was worried her vote may not be counted.
