“Even though the Republican primary — a special election to replace Utah GOP Rep. Jason Chaffetz, who stepped down in June — is closed, unaffiliated voters can register with the party on Tuesday at the polls and cast a provisional ballot, Glenn said. Utah County elections officials discovered the ballot error on July 25, after three people called to ask why they were allowed to vote in the primary election. . . County officials have said a clerical error caused the mistake. The county sought to correct the error by sending out postcards explaining that votes cast by mail from unaffiliated voters would not be counted. Votes cast in any nonpartisan municipal races, which were included on the same ballots, would be counted, the postcard said. Glenn’s own son received one of the postcards, which also instructed voters who had not yet filled out a ballot to toss it out, she said. “
