Pennsylvania Department of State Releases New Toolkit for On-Demand Mail Ballot Voting at County Elections Offices
As counties begin providing mail ballots to eligible Pennsylvania voters who requested them, the Pennsylvania Department of State today announced a toolkit for counties with a streamlined mail ballot application for voters choosing to request, mark, and return a mail ballot in person.
Although the Commonwealth does not have early voting the way many other states do, eligible Pennsylvanians can vote by mail ballot in person at their county elections office or designated satellite office once ballots have been finalized and are available. The deadline to apply for a mail ballot and to vote by on-demand mail ballot is Oct. 27.
"Voting on demand by mail ballot is a convenient option that allows eligible Pennsylvanians to make their voices heard on their own schedule. They can apply for, receive, mark, and return their ballot all in one trip," Secretary of the Commonwealth Al Schmidt said. "Providing this new toolkit is part of our ongoing commitment to supporting voters and counties in fulfilling the most basic tenant of our republic - the right to vote."
