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 over 500,000 voters following a printing vendor error that distributed incorrect party ballots for the June 23 Gubernatorial Primary.
- Following the printing error identified last week, the State Board recommends voters destroy original ballots and will remail replacements by May 29 to ensure election integrity.
- "SBE will utilize existing practices that prevent voters from having more than one ballot counted," they said, with each replacement requiring return in a specifically marked envelope.
- Members of the Maryland Freedom Caucus labeled the situation a "disaster," with Del. Kathy Szeliga and Del. Ryan Nawrocki questioning how the state will differentiate ballot printings.
- 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 yet to publicly address the issue.
