In a statement, Stringer said on Tuesday that 125,000 Democratic voters in Brooklyn were removed from the census between Nov. 2015 and this month without a proper explanation.

"There is nothing more sacred in our nation than the right to vote, yet election after election, reports come in of people who were inexplicably purged from the polls, told to vote at the wrong location or unable to get into their polling site," he added.

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio admitted that he has been informed of the purge of names from voter lists.

"The perception that numerous voters may have been disenfranchised undermines the integrity of the entire electoral process and must be fixed," he said in a statement.

Meanwhile, at a rally in the state of Pennsylvania, Sanders said "it will be fine" in New York tonight, although the polls predict that he will lose to his Democratic opponent, the former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

"We do something radical and almost unheard of in this country: telling the truth," said Sanders, whose future in the presidential race will largely depend on the gap between him and his rival in the New York primaries today.

There are 247 delegates at stake for the Democrats without taking into account the 'superdelegates' or party leaders who are not elected today but can vote for whoever they want at the convention.
