According to James T. O’Malley, Deputy Director of Communications for the Bucks County Board of Elections, voters are notified by postcard if a ballot is defective and given an opportunity to correct – or cure – the problem.
Ballots having errors that are not corrected by the voter before election day, or prior to the polls closing on election day, will be “spoiled” and not counted.
Detailed information about how to complete a vote by mail ballot, the location and availability of 14 drop boxes (three open as early as October 16) and more is available on the Bucks County Democratic Committee website.
