At Nassau Board of Elections, a pledge to cure ballots

About 400 to 500 mail-in ballots received so far have had problems, Nassau County Board of Elections Democratic Commissioner James Scheuerman said Tuesday night.

"If the signatures don't match or something's wrong with it, we seek to cure those ballots," Scheuerman said. "Our goal is to make sure that all the ballots count."

When there’s a problem, the board of elections reaches out to the voter by phone and mail to try to get the ballot cured and counted, he said.

"Some have been cured and some continue to be cured, for the next 14 days, Scheuerman said.

Mail-in ballots must be postmarked no later than Nov. 4 and received within seven days to be counted, he said.
