Overview
- County officials discovered just after polls opened that unaffiliated, independent, and third‑party voters were missing from precinct poll books.
- Voter Services is delivering supplemental poll books to polling locations, and anyone not listed may cast a provisional ballot in the interim.
- Roughly 75,000 county registrants fall into the affected categories, though fewer are expected to be impacted due to mail voting and typical odd‑year turnout.
- Provisional ballots are preserved, verified, and counted after eligibility checks, and voters can track their status on Pennsylvania’s official website.
- Chester County has launched a formal review to determine how the omission occurred, with no timeline yet for full resolution across the county’s 230 precincts.
