Maryland election leaders hold emergency meeting in effort to stem mail-in ballot error confusion

Maryland's State Board of Elections held an emergency meeting to address mail-in ballot errors caused by a vendor who sent incorrect Democratic and Republican ballots to voters. Protocols were approved to void original ballots if replacement ballots were issued, ensuring only corrected ballots mailed after May 27 are counted, with exceptions for nonpartisan races if original ballots were already returned. The primary election is scheduled for June 23.
