Remember to exersize your rights. Even if you’re not in Pennsylvania when voting begins, as long as you live in the state and are registered you can vote. In Pennsylvania, registered voters can request either a no-excuse mail-in ballot or an absentee ballot.
- Mail-in ballot: Any registered voter may apply to vote by mail in the next election. You do not have to provide a reason for why you want to vote by mail ballot.
- Absentee ballot: If you will be out of your municipality on Election Day or if you have a disability or illness that prevents you from going to your polling place on Election Day, you can request this ballot type, which requires you to provide a reason for why you want to vote by mail ballot.
Before you apply, be sure to check your voter registration status to ensure you are registered to vote and your information is up to date.
