2025 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 4, 2025 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. They can also submit a photocopy or picture of an acceptable ID (if available) to phillyelection@phila.gov, (215) 686-3398, call (215) 686-3469, or visit any Satellite Election Office for in-person assistance with ID verification. Visit vote.phila.gov/seos</> for location information, or vote.phila.gov/ballot-drop-off for an interactive map to find the Satellite Election Office closest to you. Identity verification must be submitted by Monday, November 10, 2025. 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 or lacking a secrecy envelope. These ballot submissions have the possibility of NOT being counted.

Please note: 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.
• For those unable to visit in person, replacements can be requested by completing our online request form.
• 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.

Voters can also vote via a provisional ballot at their polling place on Election Day. Find your polling place at atlas.phila.gov/voting.
