FULTON – Fulton City School District administrators would like to inform the community that absentee ballots for the upcoming school budget vote are still being mailed.
The district received notice late Monday afternoon that the registered voter list for the Fulton City School District was incomplete. The district has identified the following areas that did not have ballots: Volney, Granby and some other areas outside the City of Fulton. Those ballots have since been assembled and sent to the post office June 2.
Those voting in the Fulton City School District budget process have a choice to mail back their absentee ballot with a provided envelope or to drop it off in a secure red ballot box, located at the FCSD central office entrance of the Fulton Junior High School, 129 Curtis St., Fulton.
The box is available from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Friday. All ballots must be received by 5 p.m. June 9.
For more information, or to ask any questions, FCSD residents may call district clerk Jean Perry at (315) 593-5511.
UPDATE:
In accordance with the New York State Governor’s Executive Order 202.26, the Fulton City School District mailed absentee ballots to all voters. On June 3, a typographical error was discovered: the original ballot transmitted contained a period that should have been a comma stating that the school budget was $73,777.000.
The correct budget is $73,777,000 (Seventy-Three Million, Seven Hundred and Seventy-Seven Thousand Dollars).
If voters have transmitted ballots to the district based on an understanding that it was $73,777,000, there is no further action to be taken. The original ballot will be counted.
If voters have transmitted ballots to the district on the budget based on the understanding it was $73,777.00 (Seventy-Three Thousand, Seven Hundred Seventy-Seven Dollars), please contact FCSD District Clerk Jean Perry at (315) 593-5511 or [email protected]. The district will make arrangements with you to properly collect a revised, anonymous ballot and to set aside your previously transmitted ballot.
In the abundance of caution, FCSD is sending a letter to all voters and including a revised ballot, which corrects the above error. The remainder of the ballot is the same.
FCSD has developed control procedures so each qualified voter may only vote once; no duplicate votes will be counted.
