What should I do if my envelope is sealed?

When voters request a mail ballot, they receive an envelope containing their ballot, a return envelope, and a secrecy envelope. Those envelopes are supposed to arrive unsealed so that voters can place their ballot inside them before mailing it back. According to state law, voters must place their ballot in the secrecy envelope in order for it to be counted.

If one or both envelopes arrive sealed, a voter has two options: request a new envelope or cut the envelope open and tape it closed before returning the ballot, Bluestein said. If voters choose to tape their envelopes, their votes will still be counted, he said.

The city commissioners provided directions on how to request a new ballot in a post on X. Voters can request replacement materials by calling the Philadelphia Office of the City Commissioners at 215-686-8683, requesting a new ballot online, or visiting one of the city’s seven opened satellite election offices; the locations are listed at https://vote.phila.gov/about-us/satellite-election-offices/.
