They say 337 voters were placed in incorrect council districts. Of those, 56 had already cast their ballots during the early voting period.

Those people will not be able to recast their votes in the correct district.

Election officials say extra employees will be at the City of Mulberry’s polling location to make sure the remaining 281 voters receive correct ballots.
