The Election Authority has been working all weekend to resolve the glitch in early voting. Now there\u2019s a new update on how many voters may still be affected\u2014and what they need to do to ensure their vote counts.<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Last week, serious errors were discovered in the registration of early votes. At that time, the Election Authority stated that approximately 4,000 voters might be affected. Following this weekend\u2019s review, the situation looks better\u2014but the problem has not been resolved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now there are at most 500 voters left who Electoral authority <\/a><\/strong>cannot be identified. Their early votes will likely not be counted. The agency also notes that the number may decrease as the analysis continues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Votes were assigned to the wrong voters<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The error occurred when certain vote-receiving machines began accepting the next vote before the previous vote had been processed. As a result, some votes were assigned another voter\u2019s voter registration number and were therefore recorded incorrectly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 Our analysis shows that there are at most 500 voters who will likely not be able to be identified. That number may decrease. This is, of course, a very serious matter and should not be allowed to happen.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n
