ORRINGTON, Maine (AP) Residents of a Maine town were due to vote on a new police building, but officials say they will now have to reschedule the vote due to a signing error.

Residents were due to vote on Orrington’s proposed new $3.5 million public safety building at a special town meeting Oct. 23. The Bangor Daily News reports interim Town Manager Andrew Fish said in a letter to residents Thursday that any vote taken at the meeting would not have been considered legal.

The issue was that the Board of Selectmen had not signed a warrant in accordance with state law, despite notifying all residents.

Selectmen will hold their regular meeting Oct. 22 and Fish says they will sign a new warrant.
