The Montgomery County Board of Elections announced that a batch of voter information guides contained inaccurate polling‑place locations and party‑affiliation data for 11 precincts. Voters reported the errors on Sept. 22, prompting the board to act quickly.
Review and reprint underway
The board has instructed the printing vendor to review the faulty guides and produce corrected copies. The affected precincts are located in the Germantown, Poolesville and Clarksburg areas of Maryland. Corrected guides will be mailed to the affected voters by the start of next week.
Vendor assures accuracy for remaining guides
In a statement, the board said the vendor has reassured elections officials that the guides for the remaining 246 precincts are accurate. Montgomery County serves more than 700,000 registered voters, making reliable information essential for a smooth voting process.
