New York City residents have reported receiving ballots with wrong information, sparking confusion and a response from the city board of elections department.
Multiple voters who live in Brooklyn have reported errors-including a wrong name on their ballot envelope-which would invalidate their ballots, according to Gothamist.
He added: "I'm a political journalist, so I pay a bit more attention to this than the average voter needs to, but the wrong address isn't readily noticeable, so I imagine most voters won't even register it."
About 500,000 ballots have already been sent out to New York City voters, according to Gothamist.
"We will ensure on behalf of the voters in Brooklyn that the proper ballots and ballot envelopes are in the hands of the voters in advance of Election Day so they can vote," Ryan said.
Ryan added that the city's vendor tasked with making the ballots, Phoenix Graphics, will address the issue and that voters with invalid ballots will receive corrected ones.
A record 76% of Americans will be able to vote by mail in the general election, The New York Times reported.
