According to Allegheny County, some voters received a message Tuesday telling them their ballot was "on its way" even though their ballots were already mailed.

The county emailed the message recipients the following: "Did you get a message entitled "Your Ballot is on its way" in your email yesterday? Don't panic. Voters do not need to do anything and will not get another ballot.

"As you may have noticed, the online ballot tracker may not been showing a date for "Ballot Mailed On." Although nearly 300,000 ballots have been mailed, the column was blank. To correct that, Elections utilized a tool in the state system to update statuses for individuals whose ballots have already been mailed. That action resulted in "Your ballot is on its way" emails going out."

The Allegheny County Elections Division began sending ballots on September 23.
