  • Can I vote by mail?

    Yes! You must apply for a ballot by October 31st and your absentee ballot must be received by November 7th, but the earlier, the better. (Please don't keep us waiting. It stresses us out too much).

    if you are voting by mail from within your voting precinct you should request a mail in ballot. If you are voting by mail from a location outside of your voting precinct (eg. you'll be out of town) you should request an absentee ballot. In order to apply for an absentee or mail-in ballot, you must supply proof of identification.

  • Can I vote early?

    Yes, although in PA it's technically in-person absentee. Basically, you request and fill out your absentee ballot at your town/city clerk's office, so you don't need to wait for the mail. The last day to do this is October 31st, and the start dates may vary.
