EFFINGHAM — The attorney general’s office is investigating how the town of Effingham’s ballots disappeared before voting took place on snowy March 13 election day.

The 2018 ballots somehow went missing before voting, and Town Moderator Susan Slack was told by the Secretary of State’s Office how to proceed, according to Town Clerk Deanna Amaral. Photocopies of the sample ballots were used by voters.
