Local leaders in Pittsburgh posed topless for a social media campaign to raise awareness about “naked ballots,” or mail-in ballots returned without being placed into secrecy envelopes.
Two county council members and a state representative-elect used images of mail-in ballots strategically placed to cover their chests. Text below the images reminds voters to put their ballots in their envelopes before mailing them to avoid having their votes thrown out.
So-called “naked ballots” were an issue during Pennsylvania’s primary election in August, where thousands of voters used the state’s mail-in voting system for the first time.
