A Pennsylvania county must inform voters if their mail-in ballots have been counted or rejected, a state appeals court ruled on Sept. 24.

In a 2–1 ruling, Commonwealth Court judges said that a Washington County judge did not err when he decided in August that the county’s failure to notify voters that their ballots were rejected illegally deprived them the ability to challenge the rejection and cast provisional ballots.
