The NYC Board of Elections sent 17,000 voters registration updates containing incorrect congressional and state senate districts—weeks before primary races—saying the error occurred because of multiple district maps handed down during redistricting.
NYC Board of Elections staffers count ballots in November 2020The Board of Elections sent 17,000 voters registration updates that contained incorrect congressional and state senate districts — three weeks before primary races in those districts — a Board of Elections official confirmed.
Vincent Ignizio, the deputy executive director of the board, told Gothamist the confusion occurred because of two different versions of congressional and senate maps the board received at different times during the chaoticearlier this year. Roughly 17,000 voters who updated their registrations — out of 2.3 million eligible primary voters — got notices that pulled data from the wrong map, he said.
“This was an error and it’s unfortunate and it was corrected,” he said, adding all the affected voters would get amended notices ahead of the August 23rd Primary. “This was an unfortunate byproduct of multiple elections and redistricting processes on the same systems and staff simultaneously.”
