Overview
- Officials said morning poll books listed only Democrats and Republicans, leaving roughly 75,000 unaffiliated and third-party voters off the rolls.
- Voters not listed were directed to cast provisional ballots, which are verified after Election Day, and Philadelphia delivered extra supplies to meet demand.
- Corrected poll books reached all 230 precincts by about 3:45 p.m., restoring standard check-in for the remainder of the day.
- Polling places stayed open two additional hours, allowing people arriving after 8 p.m. to vote provisionally.
- Commissioners apologized and said a formal review will follow certification, as provisional ballots are processed and counted in the coming days.
