RENO (AP) — Ballots will not be mailed to Washoe County residents this week because a vendor was unable to print them in time.
Washoe County Registrar Deanna Spikula said ballots will instead be mailed out Oct. 2 and voters should start seeing them appear in their mailboxes soon after.
Spikula says the county had pushed the printer it hired to meet an earlier deadline as officials comply with a new state law requiring ballots to automatically be mailed to all active voters, whether they request one or not.
But Spikula said the printer was facing "exceptionally high demand" and the county has reverted to its original schedule.
