Dear Pennsylvania Voter:

Make sure your voice is heard in time! Return your mail-in or absentee ballot in person today!

Only a few days left to deliver your ballot!  Many counties have recently implemented convenient drop-boxes and drop off locations for voters to deliver their mail-in or absentee ballots. For more information on locations and hours click HERE.

If you need more information, you can also call or email your county election office and ask about options where you can deliver the ballot in person.  The deadline for counties to receive your ballot is 8 p.m. on June 2, and the postmarked date does not count.
If you have already returned your ballot, you can easily check the status of your ballot here.

If you don’t receive your ballot by Tuesday, you can still vote by provisional ballot in person at your polling place on June 2nd.
