The City of Rockville's Board of Supervisors of Elections recently addressed a technical issue that impacted voters' ability to track their mail-in ballots for the 2023 election. The problem originated from an online tracking tool provided by a third-party vendor, which has since been removed due to its inaccuracies. Importantly, the city assured residents that this issue did not compromise the integrity of the election process or the actual delivery of ballots by the United States Postal Service. All registered voters in Rockville have received their ballots, with options to return them by mail, vote in person at designated centers, or drop them off at election drop boxes. Voters are reminded that all ballots must be received by 8 p.

m. on November 7 to be counted. For added reassurance, residents can verify that their ballots have been received by visiting the City of Rockville's official website. Those needing reissued or replacement ballots are encouraged to contact the City Clerk’s Office directly. This announcement underscores the city's commitment to ensuring a smooth and transparent election process.
