Special Montco Election Day Team Ready For 'Irregularities'

NORRISTOWN, PA — The 2023 general election is just a week away, and officials in Montgomery County say they're prepared to protect the "sanctity" of democracy's most fundamental proceeding.

A special tip line has been created for residents to report any suspicious activity they see at the polls or at the ballot drop boxes. All boxes will be under surveillance, the DA's office said.

"We don’t expect any irregularities with the upcoming election, but I want to reassure Montgomery County residents that we will use all means to make certain we have a safe, secure and valid election here in Montgomery County, for both in-person voting on Election Day and for voting by dropping off completed paper ballots," First Assistant District Attorney Edward F. McCann Jr. said in a statement. "If the facts and evidence warrant it, we will prosecute anyone who attempts to interfere with this election."

Anyone who sees someone trying to break into the election boxes, dropping off multiple ballots, and doing anything suspicious or criminal should call the tip line at 610-292-2023, or email jediah.grobstein@montgomerycountypa.gov.

The DA's office will also have a team of prosecutors and detectives assembled specifically to handle Election Day complaints.
