Advocates sue Pennsylvania over mail-in ballot rejections due to minor date errors
In Pennsylvania, thousands of voters have their mail-in ballots rejected each year due to a common error: writing an incorrect date or no date at all on their ballot envelope. Election officials do not use the date to determine whether the ballot was returned on time; ballots must be received by county boards of election by 8 p.m. on Election Day, regardless of the handwritten date. This requirement led to the rejection of at least 10,000 timely submitted ballots in the 2022 general election.
