County voter mailer sparks confusion in Manassas City

Manassas officials tell us some voters in who live in the city are confused after they received a letter in the mail providing them incorrect information about where to vote. 

The mailer came from the Prince William County Office of Elections, which handles elections in the county, not in the cities of Manassas and Manassas Park.

We’ve attached a photo of that mailer, obtained from city spokeswoman Patty Prince to this post.

Prince told us the mailer sparked multiple phone calls to the city’s voter registrar’s office asking if they’re polling places had changed, and if they were to vote now at locations in Prince William County. Manassas officials told city residents that the flier did not pertain to them.

We’ve contacted the Prince William County Office of Elections, but it has yet to provide comment on this post.

Manassas officials sent out these reminders to their residents:
