Election Officer Avery Midas in a phone interview yesterday said that the printing of 4,650 ballots were delayed for sometime because they have to address first some issues concerning the petition filed against former speaker Timothy Tero Uehara who is running as Legislature in Ngerbeched.
Midas said they have to screen all candidates to see if they are qualified to run and there was only one petition filed against a candidate.
