Distribution of ballot papers in Česká Lípa
On Tuesday, September 23, while delivering ballots in Česká Lípa, the Czech Post distributed envelopes, some of which contained ballots intended for the Ústí nad Labem Region. The error occurred when compiling individual sets of ballots and envelopes. It was an individual mistake made by one person in the operation, not a systemic error. This is an isolated case in the postal compilation of ballots. We apologize to the residents and leadership of Česká Lípa for this mistake.
Immediately after discovering the error, we began working intensively to distribute replacement ballots that were correct for the area so that citizens would receive them in their mailboxes within the statutory period of three days before the election. Yesterday, 2,400 envelopes with ballots were dispatched, of which more than 200 contained ballots for the Ústí nad Labem Region.
