A Searchable Database of Philadelphia City Commissioners Potentially Incorrect Ballots

What is this document?

You can use this site to to see if your 2022 mail-in ballot for the November election was listed as “potentially incorrect” by the Philadelphia City Commissioners (as of Nov. 5th) and in need of correction.

For information about how to correct your ballot, please visit the Philadelphia City Commissioners’ website.

On November 5th, 2022, the Philadelphia City Commissioners publicly published lists of ballots that might be “potentially incorrect” for various reasons. They published 4 pdf and 4 Excel files to their website with lists of mail-in-ballots that had potential problems. The announcement read:

“all these ballot submissions have the possibility of NOT being counted. It is strongly advised that the voters on these lists request a replacement ballot at the County Board of Elections office in City Hall Room 140 on Saturday or Sunday from 9:00 am – 3:00 pm; Monday, November 7th from 9:00 am – 5:00 pm; or on Election Day from 7:30 am – 7:30 pm to avoid the potential rejection of their ballot.”

There are also instructions on the Commissioners site for people who cannot appear in person.

The databases they published were not searchable in a web browser. This site formats the data in a searchable tool.

This tool points directly to the URLs published by the City Commissioners. The code used to generate this searchable database is open source and available. This site is not associated with the City Commissioners, any government, political party, political action committee, or any election entity.
