From delays in early voting to drop boxes picked up ahead of Election Day, hang-ups for casting a ballot remain in the rural Utah county.

“Overall, the election went really fairly smooth and we had a great voter turnout,” said James Francom, San Juan County deputy clerk/auditor.

But, according to Shelly Jackson, deputy elections director for the lieutenant governor’s office, it’s up to the county to communicate with their third-party election vendor to format and proof ballots. Yellowman, who lives in the Utah portion of the Navajo Nation, said he feels the county clerk or the lieutenant governor’s office should have caught the mistake as he filed for candidacy in March, several months before the election.“I felt like I’ve been violated and I think my voters are probably thinking the same, that they’ve been violated,” Yellowman told The Tribune.

Three drop boxes were removed on Nov. 3 — five days before the election — at the Aneth Chapter House, Red Mesa Chapter House and Mexcian Water Chapter House, all located in the Navajo Nation.
