(KNZA)--Election officials are trying to ease confusion over mail ballot applications voters are receiving from a non-profit, non-partisan organization based in Washington D.C

The Brown County Election Officer Melissa Gormley said residents should not be receiving a ballot of any kind from her office.

She said what they might be receiving are ballot applications from the Center for Voter Information, and some may be receiving multiples of this application.

Gormley said they are not coming from her office.

She said if you have received a ballot, please report it to her office so they can notify the proper authorities.

Meanwhile, advance voting is set to begin next week in Brown County for the November 3rd general election.

Tuesday is the last day to register to vote.
