State employees are reaching out to up to 4,300 Pennsylvania voters who requested a mail ballot, after a computer glitch caused them to be sent two ballots by mistake.
Department of State spokesperson Ellen Lyon said Thursday the issue was due to a printing error.
“We are continuing to investigate and monitor this to see if other factors are contributing to this issue, and to prevent future duplicate ballots from going out,” Lyon said Thursday. “We are going to be using email and phone calls to contact the voters.”
It’s unclear exactly what parts of the state have been affected. Lyon did not respond to a request for details. But a spokesperson for Bucks County confirmed at least 1,091 voters there have received two ballots in their name and an official in Mifflin County said 108 voters were subject to the error. A seemingly similar printing issue caused some voters in Allegheny County to receive duplicate mail-in ballots during the primary in May.
