Secretary of the Commonwealth Reminds Voters the Mail Ballot Application Deadline Is October 27th

Secretary of the Commonwealth Al Schmidt reminds registered Pennsylvania voters planning to vote by mail ballot in the Nov. 3 general election that they must apply for their ballot online or in person by 5 p.m. Oct. 27.

"If you want to vote by mail, now is the time to apply so you will have enough time to receive, complete, and return your ballot to your county elections office by the deadline of 8 p.m. on Election Day," Sec. Schmidt said. "You also have the option of applying for your mail ballot in person at your county elections office, completing it, and returning it all in one visit through Oct. 27. Voters are encouraged to check their county elections office's hours before making the trip."

The Department of State's Elections Data page links to a downloadable Daily Mail Ballot Report, which provides point-in-time data showing each county elections office's statistics.
