In order to protect the health and safety of all voters, poll workers, and election officials while ensuring access to voting, the Pennsylvania primary election has been rescheduled to Tuesday, June 2. Also, new mail-in ballot options are available to all Pennsylvania voters. Voters can also sign up to become a permanent mail-in or absentee ballot voter when applying.
Vote from home
All Pennsylvania voters now have the option to vote by mail or absentee ballot without having to provide an excuse – for any reason or no reason at all. Voters can apply for mail-in ballots online, by mail, or in person, until one week before the election. For help or to be mailed an application directly, please call 1-877-VOTESPA.
For the 2020 primary, mail-in ballot applications and absentee ballot applications must be received by your county election office by 5 p.m. Tuesday, May 26. Applying online is quick and secure, and if you enter your email address, you will receive notifications as to the status of your application and ballot along the way. Once you receive your mail-in or absentee ballot, you have until 8 p.m. on election day, June 2, to deliver your completed ballot to your county election office. If you are mailing it back, do that as early as you can to ensure it is delivered by that time.
Voters who have already requested a mail-in or absentee ballot will receive their ballot for the rescheduled primary. There is no need to apply again if you have already done so and if your address remains the same. If your address has changed, please contact your county election office to provide your updated address.
