A top aide on Scott Stringer’s campaign recently sent out misleading text message blasts to voters instructing them it’s “prohibited” to put “multiple selections” on their Democratic mayoral primary ballots, according to screengrabs obtained by the Daily News.

Elaine Fan, the chief of staff on Stringer’s mayoral campaign, posted the messages on several WeChat forums popular with Chinese communities in New York City last weekend.

The messages urged people on the forums to “vote only for Scott Stringer.”

“Multiple selections are prohibited,” added Fan’s messages, which were in Simplified Chinese and included a graphic of a mock mayoral primary ballot with only Stringer’s name penciled in on it. A native Chinese speaker provided The News with an independent translation of the messages.
