Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner has been registered to vote as a woman for eight years,
it is claimed.
His gender is listed as "female" in records from the New York State Board of Elections,
according to screen grabs published by Wired.
The images suggest Mr Kushner, who is a senior adviser to the president, registered to vote in November 2009.
The former property investor has not commented on the news, so it remains unclear how the error occurred.
The mistake is unlikely to constitute voter fraud, as that requires the culprit to deliberately give false information.
President Trump was bombastic on the subject after the 2016 US election,
tweeting that "millions of people" had "voted illegally", but without offering any evidence.
While Mr Trump won the election via the electoral college, he actually received 2.86 million
fewer votes than Democrat Hillary Clinton.
The president formed an advisory commission specifically to focus on alleged electoral fraud,
but at least 20 states rebuffed its request for data on registered voters, including their names,
addresses, and voting history.
Mr Kushner's latest headlines come just days after it emerged that he and his wife
Ivanka had used private email accounts to carry out official White House business.
The move raised eyebrows as Mr Trump repeatedly attacked Mrs Clinton's use of personal
email while she was secretary of state during the 2016 campaign.
The former Democratic presidential candidate called the situation "the height of hypocrisy".
The New York Times has named four other members of Mr Trump's team who are also believed to have used
personal email accounts. They are Steve Bannon, the former chief White House strategist;
Reince Priebus, the former chief of staff; and advisers Gary D Cohn and Stephen Miller.
