More Than 1,700 Provisional Ballots Challenged In Delco

DELAWARE COUNTY, PA — Hundreds of provisional ballots cast in Delaware County on Election Day are in jeopardy of being disqualified due to legal challenges against them

Officials said more than 1,700 provisional ballots are being challenged, most based on procedural errors.

With the challenges, the Delaware County Board of Elections has a legal obligation to attempt to notify all voters whose provisional ballot is subject to disqualification.

Officials sent priority overnight letters to the affected voters and has also published a complete alphabetical list on the county's election website.

All affected voters included on this list of challenged provisional ballots are invited to attend a special hearing at 1 p.m. in the County Council Meeting Room on the first floor of the Government Center Building, 201 W. Front Street in Media, to observe the proceedings and present testimony and evidence should the board seek additional information.

The hearing room will be subject to a headcount limit, social distancing of at least 6 feet will be strictly observed and all attendees will be required to wear a mask. An overflow room will be used, with live video and audio streaming for those in attendance.

All challenged provisional ballots will be reviewed by the Delaware County Board of Elections, regardless of attendance. Failure to attend the hearing will not automatically result in a disqualified ballot.
