Prezzato was charged in October 2024 with one count of voting absentee and in person and one count of offering to vote more than once.

Under a plea agreement, Prezzato will serve a six-month delayed probation sentence. If he meets all the terms and conditions of probation, the charges will be dismissed.

Prezzato will be sentenced on Oct. 22.
