​Report election complaints

Everyone can help keep elections fair and honest by reporting problems.

The Pennsylvania Department of State oversees elections in Pennsylvania. It’s our job to keep elections fair and honest. If you are aware of election fraud or irregularities, you can report it to your county board of elections using the online form below. You must be registered to vote in Pennsylvania to file a complaint using this online complaint form. Therefore, your name and address information must match your voter registration record.

How do I report an election complaint?

  • Report polling place issues to the JUDGE OF ELECTIONS at your polling place before you leave.
  • If your issue is not resolved by the Judge of Elections, report the issue to your COUNTY ELECTION OFFICE by using the Online Complaint Form.
