Poolesville

To the news.

The Montgomery County Board of Elections has flagged a printing error in voter information guides mailed to 11 precincts in the Clarksburg, Germantown, and Poolsville areas.

According to MoCo 360 and county alerts, those guides listed the wrong polling place and party affiliation, though names, addresses, and sample ballots were correct.

Replacement guides are being printed and mailed to affected voters.

According to the BOE, the erroneous mail deliveries date back to September 16th when the Montgomery County Board of Elections sent voter information guides to more than 700,000 people who are registered to vote.

Apparently, they received information that several of these guides sent to the voters in one batch affected 11 precincts in Clarksburg, Germantown, and Poolsville areas contained the correct voter's name, address, and sample ballot, but also included incorrect polling places and party affiliation information.

The printing error did not affect any voter registration records.

The BOE asked the vendor responsible for printing information guides to review what happened.

The Maryland Board of Elections released information Wednesday about what happened.
