“#Brooklyn voters report receiving mislabeled absentee ballots<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n Voters across Brooklyn are reporting widespread issues with mislabeled absentee ballots \u2014 a problem the city Board of Elections has blamed on an outside vendor.<\/p>\n

In numerous cases shared with The Post, residents across the borough received ballot return envelopes bearing the wrong name and address, sparking confusion over how to fix the error five weeks ahead of the election.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a major problem. This is not stoking confidence in the election system,\u201d said Brooklyn Heights resident, Jiong Wang, who received a return envelope for his ballot with the name and address of a voter who lives a half-mile away.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Wang\u2019s wife, Jill Wiehoff, received a ballot return envelope with her husband\u2019s name on it.<\/p>\n

The same absentee ballot mislabeling issue was experienced by a Downtown Brooklyn voter whose return envelope bore the name of a resident living two blocks away.<\/p>\n

Another Brooklyn resident, Brian Gresko, said he and his wife, along with two other couples on his street, were mailed incorrectly labeled ballots.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s appalling!\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Voters in Park Slope, Prospect Heights and Kensington also reported the same issue.<\/p>\n

The city Board of Elections on Monday night acknowledged the matter, attributing it<\/a> to \u201can outside vendor error.\u201d They encouraged voters experiencing the problem to reach out, leading to comments from more Brooklyn voters who said they were sent the wrong ballot envelopes.\n <\/div>\n
