Public Advocate Bill de Blasio called on the Board of Elections to resolve mistakes that plagued Primary Day voters and could result in widespread confusion in November’s presidential election. The Public Advocate received complaints on Thursday from voters who did not receive accurate poll site information in the mail and encountered poll workers unable to direct them to the proper poll site when they arrived to vote. In a letter to the Board, de Blasio called on the agency to verify all poll site location information printed on mailers prior to November’s election, provide additional affidavit ballots on Election Day, and ensure poll workers are prepared to direct voters to the proper poll sites.
