Cure your ballot: 1,400 Philly mail voters have a chance to fix errors

Did you cast a mail ballot for the May primary election? Check the below list of names to make sure there isn’t a problem with what you sent in. If there is, you have a chance to fix it and make sure your vote counts.

The Office of City Commissioners released a list of nearly 1,400 Philly voters whose mail ballots were received with errors. The issues include:

No signature on the exterior envelope
No date on the exterior envelope
Potentially incorrect date on the envelope
No secrecy envelope (aka a “naked ballot”)

No, elections officials haven’t yet started counting the votes in the mail ballots — they’re not allowed to do that until the polls open at 7 a.m. on May 16, per Pennsylvania law.

Big and very close mayor's race (close primary, but no matter who wins, a (D) will be mayor). Plus I was blown away from 27 (D)s running in this primary for 5 at-large seats. As it is, we lost about 1/3rd of the City Council due to the "resign-to-run" ordinance and the ones who resigned were running for mayor.
