The Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled that voters who cast faulty mail-in ballots can afterward cast provisional votes.

In a four to three ruling, the state Supreme Court found that the Butler County Board of Elections must count the provisional ballots of voters whose mail-in ballots were rejected for not properly following instructions. Voters whose mail-in ballots were rejected for lacking the secrecy envelope, missing information, or sporting inaccurate information must now be allowed to vote via provisional ballot.
