345 Montgomery Co. Ballots Have Errors: Check Your Status Here

NORRISTOWN, PA — Hundreds of mail-in ballots returned already in Montgomery County have errors and will not count unless they are fixed, the county's log of ballot deficiencies shows.

The log, made public this year for the first time by the Montgomery County elections board, has 345 names on it as of Oct. 22.

See the log and all ballots with errors online here.

Voters who see their name on the list should contact the county by utilizing "this "Cancel/Replace” form. The county will allow then voters to correct the error on the ballot.

Common errors on mail-in ballots include "naked" ballots missing the secrecy envelope, a lack of signature, damage to the paper, the wrong date, and issues with voter registration status.

Making this list public is a new step by Montgomery County, and is something no other Pennsylvania county has done before. In the past, many counties have instead provided the list of ballots with errors to political parties, who can then reach out to individual voters. This makes the list public outright, in hopes that neighbors and friends can also help voters who have issues when they notice their name on the list.

Even if you don't have an error, you can still check the status of your mail-in ballot through the Pennsylvania Department of State's tracker tool.
