"Pennsylvanians have more voting options than ever before – they can vote by mail; in a few weeks after ballots are printed, they can vote early in-person at their county election offices; and, of course, they can vote at the polls on election day. Now it's up to voters to cross the goal line by casting their ballot any one of these three secure ways."
The Steelers aren't the only Pittsburgh team working with the DOS on voting initiatives. The Pens and DOS announced a partnership in August.
