Mail-in and Absentee Ballot Information

A Mail-in Ballot may be requested by any registered voter
In 2019, Pennsylvania joined 27 other states allowing "no excuse" mail-in balloting by signing Act 77 into law with bipartisan support.  

An Absentee Ballot may be requested by voters who will be absent from their municipality on Election Day or voters with disabilities or an illness that prevents them from going to their polling place on election day.  
The deadline to request an Absentee or Mail-in Ballot is 5 pm on the Tuesday before the election.

Apply for Mail-in or Absentee Ballot at the Official PA Voter Registration Site.  Mail-in or Absentee Ballot Request Application

If the deadline to request a Mail-in or Absentee Ballot has passed but you have an unexpected illness, disability or last-minute absence from your municipality, you can request an emergency Absentee Ballot.  Due to mail processing times, please consider picking up and returning your Emergency Absentee Ballot in-person.  Emergency Absentee Ballot Request
