South Portland says the city has received corrected ballots after misprints on a public safety bond question were off by tens of millions of dollars.

The incorrect ballots listed the total cost of the bond at roughly $105 million, while the actual amount is about $150 million.

The bond money would be used to build a new police and fire station.

The city says anyone who voted using the incorrect ballots will still have their votes counted, or they can change their vote based on the corrected numbers.
