Maryland Is Resending Thousands of Mail-in Primary Ballots After a Vendor Mix
The state is sending replacement ballots to more than 500,000 mail-in voters after confirming the error, officials said.
- The Maryland State Board is reissuing mail-in ballots for the Gubernatorial Primary Election after a vendor error caused some voters to receive the incorrect party ballot.
- This administrative mistake exclusively impacted voters who received their mail-in ballots before May 14, though officials noted it is possible only a small number of residents were actually affected.
- With over 500,000 mail-in requests, Maryland State Administrator Jared DeMarinis arranged the mass reissuance to "eliminate any doubt in its integrity or accuracy" regarding the process.
- Maryland Freedom Caucus lawmakers criticized the state's handling, calling for increased oversight, while election officials maintain focus on ensuring voters receive correct materials before the Primary Election.
- Residents who requested "Print at Home" ballots delivered via the web remain unaffected by the vendor error. Those with questions can contact the State Board of Elections for assistance.
