Dupage County Election Results, A problem with ballots in DuPage County could complicate vote tallying, but officials say it won’t significantly delay the results of today’s primary elections.

Some of the ballots used in about 20 DuPage precincts are oversized and cannot be fed into the electronic machine, said Joe Sobecki, assistant executive director of the DuPage County Election Commission.

Correct-sized ballots are being delivered immediately to those sites, he said, and the ballots cast previously will be remade. A bipartisan pair of election judges will transfer votes onto new ballots.

“We’re hoping that by the time the polls close, most of them will be remade,” Sobecki said.

Oversized ballots have been reported in other countes across the state, but Kane and Cook counties have not experienced the problem, election officials there said.

In DuPage, the 20 precincts with the ballot issue are spread across the county and are not isolated to a specific geographic area.
