APRIL 16 DEADLINE FOR MAIL-IN BALLOT APPLICATION, OVER THE COUNTER VOTING

The deadline to apply for a mail-in ballot is 5 pm, Tuesday, April 16. Voters may apply in person at the County Office Building downtown or online at Mail-in and Absentee Ballot (pa.gov). Over-the-counter voting continues through April 16.

Voters may come to the first floor of the County Office Building at 542 Forbes Ave., the corner of Forbes and Ross St., where they may complete a mail-in or absentee ballot application at the counter. After the application is reviewed and approved the voter is presented with all materials needed to vote by mail. Voters may immediately vote and return the ballot on site or take the materials with them. The voted ballot must be returned to the Elections Division either by mail or hand-delivery by the voter no later than 8 pm on election day, Tuesday, April 23.

After the April 16 deadline for mail-in voting applications, voters who need to vote prior to April 23 will need to request an emergency ballot at the County Office Building.

The counter in the lobby has the same hours as the Elections Division office – 8:30 am to 4:30 pm, Monday through Friday.

62 POLLING PLACES HAVE NEW LOCATIONS

Voters planning to vote in person on Tuesday, April 23, are encouraged to check their polling place. Since the last election, 62 polling places have been relocated due to scheduling conflicts, construction, or the site management’s request.

A mailing advising voters of their new polling locations will be sent to all households in affected precincts. On Election Day, signage will be posted on the former polling places directing voters to their new polling places.
