If you voted by mail or absentee ballot in Philadelphia or Allegheny counties and want to be certain your ballot was not rejected for lacking an accurate, handwritten date, a signature, or not being enclosed in a secrecy envelope, you can visit the Philadelphia City Commissioners website or the Allegheny County website to check.
