An article on Thursday about preparation by election officials anticipating unrest at the polls misstated the increase in volunteers recruited by the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under Law. The group said its volunteers had increased from 5,000 to over 21,000, not from 500 to over 2,100.

A chart with an article on Thursday about polls of likely voters in Nevada and Ohio mislabeled the responses that voters could choose. To the question, How should politicians campaign in person? the responses were Large crowds and Small crowds, not Yes and No.

A chart with an article on Friday about stock market gains made by executives during the economic downturn sparked by the pandemic carried the wrong photograph for the president of Peloton Interactive. It showed John Foley, the companys chief executive, not William Lynch, the companys president.

An article on Wednesday about the arrest of the software engineer John McAfee referred incorrectly to the potential prison terms he faces. The five counts of failure to file taxes each carry a maximum one-year sentence, while the five tax evasion counts each carry a maximum of five years.

An obituary on Sept. 23 about the activist and adventurer Henrietta Boggs referred incorrectly to the civil war after which Jos Figueres Ferrer, her husband at the time, became president of Costa Rica in 1948. It lasted about six weeks, not four years; and Mr. Ferrer restored democracy to Costa Rica he did not establish a democracy.

An obituary on Friday about Stephen Barnes of the law firm Cellino & Barnes referred incorrectly to his niece Elizabeth D. Barnes, who died in the same plane crash that killed Mr. Barnes. She was a lawyer with the federal Department of Health and Human Services, not with Cellino & Barnes. The earlier version also misstated the number of lawyers employed by the firm in 2017. It was 50, not 250.
