Voting booth aide given verbal caution after technical violation
A McKinley County Elections employee received a verbal caution from County Clerk Carol Sloan after a district attorney investigation found a technical violation of voting procedures. The staffer allegedly offered voting instructions to a voter who had not signed an affidavit of assistance, but investigators found no criminal wrongdoing. The matter was referred back to the county clerk to issue written procedures to address such incidents in the future.
