More than 99,000 Brooklyn voters may have been sent invalid absentee ballots from a Rochester-based printing company, according to officials at the New York City Board of Elections.

Michael Ryan, the executive director of the city Board of Elections, said Phoenix Graphics, the Rochester company, has agreed to resend absentee ballot packages to the affected Brooklyn voters to make sure they are not disenfranchised. As many as 99,477 voters could be affected.

Ryan made the announcement at the city’s Board of Elections meeting on Tuesday afternoon. He emphasized several times the board was not to blame for the faulty ballots.

“It is also essential to point out this is a vendor error and the vendor, I am reiterating that the vendor is bearing the cost of fixing this problem from a printing side of it,” Ryan said. “It is essential that confidence be established in this process and that we make certain that all the voters who potentially have a problem have a full and fair opportunity to remedy that problem.”

A spokesperson for the Board of Elections could not tell NY1 when these Brooklyn voters should expect to receive their new ballots. 

Voters we spoke to said they received their absentee ballots on Monday, but when they opened them those ballots had return envelopes with a different voters’ name. 

This is the latest hiccup for the Board of Elections. The board was criticized after the June primary when it took weeks to count absentee ballots in tight congressional races.
