(Combined Sources) Federal immigration officials incorrectly told more than 400 new U.S. citizens in Massachusetts that they couldn’t vote in this year’s general election because the state’s registration deadline had passed before they took their citizenship oaths. GBH News reports that Denis Riordan, director of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services office in Boston, acknowledged the error in a statement. Newly sworn-in citizens were told that Massachusetts’ Oct. 24 voter registration deadline had already passed, so they would not be able to vote. The agency has since confirmed that in Massachusetts, residents naturalized after that deadline may still register to vote up until 4 p.m. on Nov. 2.
