La Salle Votes

Election Day Details – Nov. 5

Poll Shuttles: If students are registered using their on-campus address, their polling place is the Widener School (1450 Olney Ave). The La Salle shuttle will make stops at the Widener driveway if students let the shuttle driver know they are going to vote. Additionally, a group of students will be meeting to walk to the polls at the 19th Street Gate at 12:30 p.m. on Election Day.

Donut Forget to Vote: Before or after visiting the polls, stop by the Donut Forget to Vote tables between 8:30-10:30 a.m. in Communication Center, St. Benilde Tower, Founders’ Hall, Hayman Hall, Holroyd Hall, or Union Lobby. Grab a donut and get polling place information as well as what to do if you encounter problems at the polls.

2024 General Election: Unverifiable Identification, Undeliverable, and/or Potentially Flawed Ballots

The Philadelphia Board of Elections has received mail-in and absentee ballots with various issues that may prevent them from being counted in the upcoming November 5, 2024 General Election. These issues include some ballots with unverifiable identification, undeliverable issues, or other potential flaws. You can find the updated list in PDF or Excel by clicking here.

Below is the important information for you,
1. Unverifiable Identification: Mail ballots from voters whose identification could not be verified. Voters who have not submitted acceptable proof of ID or whose ID could not be verified should fill out the ID verification form, and submit it along with a photocopy or picture of an acceptable ID (if available) to phillyelection@phila.gov or via fax to (215) 686-3398 by Tuesday, November 12, 2024. Without this information, the Board cannot count your ballot.
2. Undeliverable or Potentially Flawed: Ballots returned by the U.S. Postal Service as “undeliverable”, or administratively determined to be potentially flawed. Flaws may include lacking a signature on the declaration envelope, lacking a written date on the declaration envelope, lacking a secrecy envelope, or having a potentially incorrect date. These ballot submissions have the possibility of NOT being counted. Voters have until November 5th, Election Day, to request a replacement ballot at one of the City’s Satellite Election Offices if needed.
