Philly shares list of voters who submitted flawed mail-in ballots
Action News' Annie McCormick has more on how the Philadelphia region is preparing for Election Day, including helping voters fix flawed mail-in ballots.

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- If you've submitted a mail-in ballot in Philadelphia, make sure your vote will count.



Philadelphia has posted lists of voters who submitted flawed ballots.



These include ballots with no signature, no date, potentially incorrect date and those not enclosed in a Secrecy Envelope (aka 'naked ballots').



If your name is on one of these lists, you need to take action.



"All these ballot submissions have the possibility of NOT being counted. It is strongly advised that the voters on these lists request a replacement ballot at the County Board of Elections office in City Hall Room 140 on Saturday or Sunday from 9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.; Monday, November 7th from 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.; or on Election Day from 7:30 a.m. - 7:30 p.m. to avoid the potential rejection of their ballot. Voters unable to travel to the Board's office due to a disability may authorize a designated agent pick up a replacement ballot and/or return a completed ballot using the Designated Agent Form," the Philadelphia Board of Elections said.



In addition they say, "Voters on these lists may instead cast a Provisional Ballot but should only do so if the voter is unable to request a replacement ballot at City Hall prior to the end of Election Day."



Voters can find their polling place at atlas.phila.gov/voting.
