State Board of Elections Addresses Next Steps in Mail-in Ballot Error
The state will resend ballots to more than 500,000 mail-in voters and says safeguards will prevent duplicate counting.
- The Maryland State Board of Elections will resend mail-in ballots to more than 500,000 voters after a printing vendor error resulted in incorrect party ballots for the June 23 Gubernatorial Primary.
- Following the printing error identified last week, the State Board recommends voters destroy original ballots upon receipt of replacements, which will be remailed by May 29.
- "SBE will utilize existing practices that prevent voters from having more than one ballot counted," they said, with each replacement ballot requiring return in a specifically marked envelope.
- Del. Kathy Szeliga and Del. Ryan Nawrocki of the Maryland Freedom Caucus labeled the situation a "disaster," questioning how the state will distinguish between ballot printings to prevent voter suppression.
- Demanding transparency, the Maryland Freedom Caucus called on Secretary of the Election Board, Jared DeMarinis, to release voter rolls to the federal government, while Governor Wes Moore has remained silent.
