A Noticeable Difference: How Notice and Cure Can Help Pennsylvania Count Every Vote
This report dives into the policies counties use to notify voters and resolve issues (notice and cure policies), as well as their varying ballot curing success rates. Counties that automatically return flawed ballots to voters or automatically cancel and reissue mail ballots have the highest rate of ballot acceptance. Meanwhile, counties that rely solely on voters checking the Department of State’s ballot tracker website have the worst rates of ballot acceptance. The report also addresses how some counties are not in compliance with the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruling requiring them to notify voters of cancelled ballots before Election Day.
