Montgomery County Board of Elections sends out ballots with incorrect voter names

Some voters in Montgomery County’s 8th Congressional District got a surprise when their sample ballots arrived in the mail recently. Above their address was someone else’s name.

Liz Allen, of Bethesda, Maryland, was among the voters who received an incorrectly labeled ballot. She said it was alarming at first.

“I was thinking, ‘Oh, what if I go vote with my driver’s license and they don’t have my name at this address,’” said Allen.

Montgomery County’s Board of Elections said it recently sent out 132,217 sample ballots to voters in the district which encompasses a large portion of Montgomery County from the D.C. border up through Damascus.
