80,000 Marylanders Impacted By Voter Registration Error

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (WJZ) — A technology glitch could make extra work for 80,000 Maryland voters this election day.

If you registered a change of address or party, and didn’t receive a new voters card, you could be one of thousands of people who can still vote, but will have use a provisional ballot on Tuesday.

They’ll have to cast provisional ballots after a computer failed to register new addresses or party affiliation changes.

Secretary Pete K. Rahn on released the following statement:

“The MDOT Auditor will immediately begin a review of MDOT MVA’s Information Technology systems and management controls. The public relies on us to follow through on our customer service commitments, and MDOT MVA clearly fell short in this case. While all Marylanders, who are eligible to vote in this election, can vote tomorrow, the fact that their information wasn’t updated with the State Board of Elections as it should have been is unacceptable and will be remedied. I apologize to the Marylanders that count on us every day, and I assure all impacted voters that we will work overtime to make this right.”

The state board of elections says a computer error is to blame.
