Voting by Mail in Pennsylvania
If you are a registered voter, you now have two options for mail ballots in Pennsylvania.
Mail-in ballot – Any qualified voter may apply for a mail-in ballot. You may simply request this ballot without a reason.
Absentee ballot – If you plan to be out of your municipality on election day or if you have a disability or illness, you should request this ballot type, which still requires you to list a reason for your ballot.
Applications can be requested online at www.votespa.com with a valid Driver’s License or Photo ID.
All absentee/mail-in ballot applications must be received in your County Voter Registration Office no later than 5 p.m. on Tuesday, October 27, for the 2020 General Election.
Mark your ballot, following the instructions. Place the ballot in the secrecy envelop and then the official envelope. Sign the declaration and mail or deliver the ballot to your County Voter Registration Office.
