What are mail ballots?

In Pennsylvania, you now have two options for mail ballots. You may either choose a mail-in ballot or an absentee ballot to request, complete and return to your county election office.

In order to request either ballot type, you must be registered to vote. Please visit Check Your Registration Status to review your registration information.
