The wrong date for Election Day was printed in the Spanish-language version of a mailing from the Board of Elections in Westchester County, New York.

The mailing on the availability of ballot marking devices was in English and Spanish.

The Spanish section said Election Day was Nov. 9 instead of Nov. 4.

A county spokeswoman says calls in English and Spanish were made over the weekend to correct the mistake.

Since 2005, Westchester County has been under a federal consent decree ensuring that Spanish-speaking voters get bilingual assistance at the polls.
