MONTGOMERY COUNTY DISCLOSES PRINT ERROR ON MAIL-IN BALLOTS, NEW BALLOTS TO BE ISSUED
NORRISTOWN, PA – On Friday October 1st, Montgomery County Election Officials were notified that approximately 16,000 General Election Mail-In Ballots were printed incorrectly by its ballot vendor, NPC, and mailed to residents. These ballots are easily identified as they were only printed on one side. Sample Ballots for the 2021 General Election can be viewed here.
Voters who receive a one-sided ballot in the mail should destroy the ballot and envelopes. Montgomery County Voter Services will cancel the incorrectly issued ballot materials and re-issue new, two-sided ballots to these residents automatically. These residents will be notified either by email, phone or mail. Re-issued ballots are expected to be mailed next week.
As always, any voter who originally applied to vote by mail but chooses not to return their mail-in ballot can vote in person. To do this, they can surrender their ballot and the envelope with the Voter’s Declaration at their polling location. If these ballot materials are not presented, the voter can vote using a provisional ballot.
Montgomery County sincerely apologizes for the inconvenience this will cause voters.
