11 September 2023 at 10:34 Electoral error in Balsfjord – forgot the ballots for the local list When a voter in Nordkjosbotn was going to vote for the Conservative Balsfjord list, the ballots for the list had not been submitted. A miss, says the electoral board. – I regret like “f” that I did not ask the election observers where the ballot papers were. I now see that I should have done it, says voter Halvard Karlsen to Nordlys. He was early to vote during the local elections in Nordkjosbotn in Balsfjord, but could not find the ballot papers for the party he wanted to vote for, writes the newspaper. He explains that he became unsure whether it was possible to vote for the list, and therefore voted for another party. – It was Frp. It was like the second choice for me. There is nothing to keep secret, says Karlsen to the newspaper. The head of the electoral board, Gunda Johansen, says they have now corrected it and that the ballot papers are in place. – A human error has occurred. It has been corrected. As soon as it was discovered, they were given ballots. (© NTB)
