Felder says: Can’t understand election booklet? Call me!
Thousands of informational pamphlets the New York City Board of Elections has sent to voters in anticipation of the Sept. 10 primary look like junk mail, according to state Sen. Simcha Felder, who said the yellow booklets are poorly designed and confusing to read.
Calling the booklets “ridiculous,” Felder (D-Borough Park-Midwood) said he wouldn’t be surprised if many voters toss them into the trash on the belief that the literature is junk mail from stores seeking to sell them something.
Even if voters don’t throw out the important mailing, they will probably have a hard time figuring out where they are supposed to go to vote, Felder said, because of the confusing layout of the booklet.
