 As a result of a registration error committed by the District of Columbia Democratic Party, Sen. Bernie Sanders won't appear on the Washington, D.C., ballot. 
 
 The Vermont senator's name won't appear on the ballot because the party submitted the requisite paperwork one day too late, according to NBC's Washington affiliate, News4.

 Both the Sanders campaign and Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton's campaign paid the $2,500 fee to appear on the June 14 Democratic primary ballot on time, but the district's Democratic Party failed to inform the Washington, D.C., Board of Elections until March 17, one day after the deadline. 
 
 There are still avenues for Sanders to make the ballot — Anita Bonds, chairwoman of the Democratic Party in D.C., told News4 that the problem could be resolved via an emergency vote of the D.C. City Council. 
 
 In a statement, the Sanders campaign said it expects to get on the ballot.

 A Democratic voter in D.C. filed a challenge against the Sanders campaign's registration. No complaint was filed against Clinton's registration.

 D.C. Democratic Party Chairwoman Anita Bonds said the issue may be resolved through an emergency vote by the D.C. Council, if necessary. The Board of Elections could rule it was an administrative error and correct it.

– There's a chance Bernie Sanders' name doesn't appear on the ballot for the Washington, DC, primary thanks to some heel dragging from the DC Democratic Party, NBC Washington reports. The campaigns for both Sanders and Hillary Clinton submitted their $2,500 registration fee to the party on time. But the party didn't pass along their registration info to the DC Board of Elections until a day after the May 16 deadline. A voter filed a challenge against Sanders' late registration, throwing the senator's appearance on the ballot into question. No one challenged Clinton's late registration. The DC Democratic Party calls the issue a "minor administrative dispute." A hearing on the challenge to Sanders' registration is expected next month. The situation could also be resolved by an emergency vote of the DC council. For its part, the Sanders campaign believes the matter will be cleared up in time for the June 14 primary. "We did what the DC law requires in order to get Bernie on the ballot, and we are confident he will be on the ballot," Politico quotes a Sanders spokesperson as saying.
