I want to share with you this information we received from one of our State Representatives concerning the upcoming election. It is important that everyone knows where and how to vote.
This is a very important election and everyone needs to vote. The November 3 general election is rapidly approaching. Below is important information regarding voting and mail-in/absentee ballots.
October 1 – Mail-in/Absentee Ballots are mailed continuously – Check your ballot status here: https://www.pavoterservices.pa.gov/pages/ballottracking.aspx
October 19 – Last day to register to vote – Register to vote here: https://www.pavoterservices.pa.gov/pages/VoterRegistrationApplication.aspx
October 27 – Last day to request a mail-in/absentee ballot – Request a ballot here: www.pavoterservices.pa.gov/Pages/VoterRegistrationApplication.aspx

Voting in Person (did not request mail/absentee ballot) – Registered voters may vote in person at their polling location on Election Day, Tuesday November 3, 2020 from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Click here to find your polling place: https://www.pavoterservices.pa.gov/pages/pollingplaceinfo.aspx
.
Voting in Person (requested mail/absentee ballot and received) – Registered voters who request and receive a mail-in/absentee ballot may still vote in person if they bring their ballot to the polls on Election Day. The Judge of Elections at the polling place will void your mail-in/absentee ballot and issue you a standard ballot for voting.
Voting in Person (requested mail/absentee ballot and did not receive) – Registered voters who request a mail-in/absentee ballot but do not receive the ballot by election day may vote in person at their polling place. The Judge of Elections at the polling place will issue you a provisional ballot. The provisional ballot will be counted when the county verifies that your mail-in/absentee ballot was not returned.
Voting by Mail – Registered voters may request a mail-in/absentee ballot until October 27. Ballots are being mailed continuously and you can expect it in your mailbox starting the first full week of October, at the earliest. Once received and voted, place your ballot inside the secrecy envelope provided, then place the sealed secrecy envelope inside the return envelope, then sign the return envelope. Mail-in/Absentee ballots will have prepaid postage.
Options to return your ballot:
Return your ballot via the United States Postal Service. USPS does not advise returning your ballot through the mail system after October 27, as your ballot may not reach the county in time to be counted. The county will accept mailed ballots from USPS until November 6 at 5 P.M. Ballots that are not postmarked by 8 P.M on November 3 will not be counted if received after November 3.
Return your ballot via a drop box within the county in which you are registered to vote. You are only permitted to return your own ballot.
