Some voters in New York City reported receiving mail-in ballots containing errors, including wrong voter IDs and names, incorrect return labels, or ones mislabeled as military ballots, according to reports.

The New York City Board of Elections (BOE), which the Gothamist reports has already mailed out around half a million ballots ahead of November’s election, is aware of the problem. The BOE said in a statement on Twitter that ballots labeled “official absentee military ballot” can be treated as correct ballots “even if you are not a military voter.”
