2024 General Election: Unverifiable Identification, Undeliverable, and/or Potentially Flawed Ballots

The Philadelphia Board of Elections has received mail-in and absentee ballots with various issues that may prevent them from being counted in the upcoming November 5, 2024 General Election. These issues include:

• Unverifiable Identification: Mail ballots from voters whose identification could not be verified. Voters who have not submitted acceptable proof of ID or whose ID could not be verified should fill out the ID verification form, and submit it along with a photocopy or picture of an acceptable ID (if available) to phillyelection@phila.gov or via fax to (215) 686-3398 by Tuesday, November 12, 2024. Without this information, the Board cannot count your ballot.
• Undeliverable or Potentially Flawed: Ballots returned by the U.S. Postal Service as “undeliverable”, or administratively determined to be potentially flawed. Flaws may include lacking a signature on the declaration envelope, lacking a written date on the declaration envelope, lacking a secrecy envelope, or having a potentially incorrect date. These ballot submissions have the possibility of NOT being counted.

Please note that this list is regularly updated to include any voter who has an issue with their active ballot. If a ballot issue has been resolved (by requesting a replacement ballot, for example), a voter will no longer appear on this list.

Request a Replacement Ballot:

It is strongly advised that the voters on these lists request a replacement ballot by visiting one of our Satellite Election Offices.

Voters unable to travel to the Board’s offices due to a disability may authorize a designated agent to pick up or return a replacement ballot using the Designated Agent Form.

If a voter cannot request a replacement ballot before Election Day, they may cast a provisional ballot at their polling place. Find your polling place at atlas.phila.gov/voting.
