Abdul Rahman, a Queens resident, has been indicted for allegedly submitting 118 falsified absentee ballot applications during the 2022 Democratic primary.
Rahman is facing 140 charges, including falsifying business records and criminal possession of a forged instrument.
The alleged fraud came to light when a voter was told he could not vote as an absentee ballot had already been requested in his name, which he had not done.
Rahman had been authorized to pick up 32 of the 118 ballot applications he had submitted.
If found guilty, Rahman could face up to seven years in prison.
