Hull Council sends out replacement ballot papers after 'printing error'
Hull City Council has hand-delivered replacement postal ballot packs to all electors affected by an earlier error that had resulted in them being sent packs which had the names of two candidates missing.
A printing error had seen 484 electors sent General Election ballot papers with the names of Hull East Constituency candidates Karl Turner, standing for Labour, and Sarah Walpole, standing for the Green Party missing.
Replacement packs were hand-delivered on Thursday 30 April - two days after electors would have received the invalid papers.
Robust processes have also been put in place to identify any invalid ballot papers that are returned to ensure that they are replaced by the valid papers, once received.
