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 at: https://vote.phila.gov/media/ID_Vefification_Form_Eng.pdf. They can also submit a photocopy or picture of an acceptable ID (if available) to: [email protected] or via fax to: (215) 686-3398, or call: (215) 686-3469 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.

View the list of ballots with the above detailed issues at: https://vote.phila.gov/media/2025_General_Election_Deficiency_List.pdf

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 the Satellite Election Offices:
