Boston Elections Department Takes Heat Again for Ballot Errors

Boston's Elections Department is taking heat once again for errors as next month's city council and mayoral preliminary elections loom on the horizon.

The Boston Herald reported that the Elections Department mailed multiple ballots to individual residents who asked to vote early by mail.

Secretary of the Commonwealth Bill Galvin's office is working with the city's Elections Department — which the state has been directing since last fall's ballot debacle that contributed to widespread voting delays in Boston — to “determine the source of the issue,” Galvin's spokesperson Debra O'Malley said in a media statement on Friday, Aug. 8.

Galvin's office received a complaint on Friday afternoon about one voter receiving two ballots, O'Malley reported to the Herald.
