Editor's note: In a previous version of this article, News 3 made an error and wrote that the city was working to reprint and email the correct ballots. The ballots are being sent by mail, not email.

Mail-in ballots sent to Virginia Beach residents in districts 3, 4, and 7 were printed with candidates in the incorrect order and sent to more than 7,000 residents, the city said in a press release.

Candidates for city council in districts 3 and 7 and school board candidates in district 4 were impacted.
