CORRECTION
The October 16th edition of The Carroll News features a sample ballot with incorrect information in the Fancy Gap District race for the Carroll County Board of Supervisors. The Republican candidate and incumbent, Ronnie Collins, was incorrectly listed as a Democrat. The Independent candidate, Sylvia Horton, was also incorrectly listed, as a Republican. Collins should have been listed as the Republican candidate and Horton should have been listed as the Independent candidate. We apologize sincerely for the error and deeply regret any inconvenience it may have caused.
