Chester County Delegation November 5, 2025 | 3:16 PM
Members of the Chester County State House Delegation are deeply concerned by reports that some independent, third-party, and newly registered voters were omitted from the poll books for the November 4 election.
While provisional ballots were made available, supplemental poll books were delivered by late afternoon, and polling hours were extended until 10 PM, this raises serious questions about how the error occurred, how widespread it was, and whether any voters were disenfranchised.
We have formally requested that the PA Department of State conduct a full and transparent investigation into the cause of the omission, the response on Election Day, the number of affected voters, and the steps being taken to ensure all ballots are properly counted. We also requested that the Department of State report its findings to the Pennsylvania House and Senate, along with any legislative recommendations to prevent this from happening in future elections.
Elections are the bedrock of our democracy, and any breakdown in the process threatens the public’s faith in that system. Public trust depends on accountability and swift action. Voters deserve to know that their voices will be heard and their ballots will be counted without error or delay. We urge the Department of State to act quickly and thoroughly, and we remain committed to ensuring transparency, fairness, and confidence in our democratic process.
