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:

Inspired by local physicians who were among the nation’s first to adopt the concierge medicine model, Northern Virginia is now a hub for its surging popularity. These leading physicians are redefining the patient experience with same-day appointments, direct availability, unhurried visits, and deeply personalized care:

After almost 40 years in practice, Manassas-based Internist John Cary, MD’s change to concierge medicine enabled focused attention for each individual, and the launch of his innovative diet program for those with type 2 diabetes. “The goal is to promote enough weight loss to reach an acceptable A1C of 6% with no medication,” he explains. “Achieving that can take several months of very close follow up. As I tell my patients, we are in this together.”

Jay Tyroler, MD considers his patients quite literally as family. “I believe there’s nothing more honorable than helping patients when they’re sick, or scared, or feeling vulnerable, and I care for them exactly as I would my loved ones.” Whether for a specialist referral, urgent health issue or ongoing follow up, “My patients know I’m always just a phone call away.”
