Complaints Raised Over On-Demand Voting Lines In Bucks

BUCKS COUNTY, PA —Complaints have been raised over long lines at Bucks County offices where residents can submit on-demand votes in the Nov. 5 general election.

"We have gotten many calls from voters this weekend saying they weren't able to vote on demand at the Bucks County Board of Elections or their satellite offices as they closed the lines for on-demand voting around noon," the Bucks County Republican Committee said.

Patch sent an email to James T. O'Malley, the spokesman for Bucks County's government, on Tuesday morning.

"We are also aware of people getting in line, on time, and being turned away before the hours for on-demand voting officially ended," the GOP committee said.

Anyone who has experienced these delays should email the committee at voting@bucksgop.org.

The Bucks GOP Committee also said that an additional problem was the website incorrectly advertising on-demand voting as being available up until 5 pm on Saturday.

The website in question, vote.pa, is not an official website and is not affiliated with the PA Department of State, the Bucks County Board of Elections, or the Republican Party,the GOP committee said.

The last day for on-demand in-person voting is Tuesday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Administration Building in Doylestown, and 4:30 p.m. at the Government Centers in Quakertown and Levittown.

Please be aware they have been closing the line early so be sure to get in line as soon as possible.

The Bucks GOP committee said that if residents cannot do on-demand voting, they should go to the polls on Election Day Tuesday.
