If you're a university student out-of-state or are traveling during Election Day, you can fill out this absentee ballot request form or update your mailing address online. Mail-in ballots must be received by November 3 at 8 p.m.

Use this tool to find your nearest county elections office.   

How do I make my vote count? You must properly fill out your ballot, and make sure you sign the secrecy envelope.  Here's a guide for filling out and signing your ballot.

Since the state mails out ballots only to active voters, be sure to check your registration status so that you get a mail-in ballot. You may be labeled inactive because of an undeliverable ballot, a challenged ballot, no voting or registration activity in 10 years or because of incarceration due to a felony conviction. You can find a state FAQ on inactive voters here. 

Will I know if it's rejected and can I correct it? Yes. The signature on your ballot envelope will be compared with your registration signature. If they don't match, or if you forget to sign your ballot, you will be notified and given a chance to correct it.

Who counts my vote and when do they start?  Your local county clerks will be in charge of processing and counting your vote. Mail ballots will be begin to be opened and processed on October 27.  The results of the ballot count will not be released until polls close on November 3 at 8 p.m.

How do I sign up to be a poll worker? Because of Oregon's mail-in system, only a limited amount of poll workers are accepted. You can contact your local election office to learn more.

What is required to register and what's the deadline? You must have been a resident of your voting district and U.S. citizen for at least 30 days before the election.

How do I get a mail-in ballot? Fill out and submit the Pennsylvania Department of State's online mail ballot request form here. Or print and fill out this application, and mail or deliver it to your county elections office. If you don't have access to a computer, you can contact your elections office and ask to have an application mailed to you. Some counties plan to install drop boxes for returning mail ballots. There has been a legal battle over this, but the state Supreme Court decided on September 17 to allow drop boxes. While the legislature may still pass a law prohibiting drop boxes, Governor has said he would veto it. 
 
What's the earliest I can vote and what's the deadline? You may request, receive and cast a mail ballot on a single trip to your county elections office during its business hours once your county has prepared its ballots. That will likely come after September 14, when you can first apply for a mail ballot in person — check with your county here.

How do I make my vote count? If you're voting by mail, request and return your ballot as soon as possible. While you can request a mail ballot a mere week before the election, USPS in July warned Pennsylvania its service would not be able to meet that timeline. Check the status of your mail ballot here. If you're voting by mail, also be sure to place your ballot first in the enclosed secrecy envelope before putting it inside the larger envelope for mailing. While many counties counted "naked ballots" missing these second envelopes in the state's primary, some didn't, and they're now the topic of another election lawsuit before the state Supreme Court. 
 
Will I know if it's rejected and can I correct it? Not necessarily. While some counties notify voters about rejected ballots, the state Election Code does not set a procedure for remedying rejected ballots, although an ongoing federal court lawsuit asks for one.

This has been put on hold for now while the Wisconsin Supreme Court considers whether the Green Party qualified for the ballot. Ballots must be returned to the proper polling site before polls close at 8:00pm CT. In some cities, including Milwaukee, absentee ballots are counted at a central count facility, and absentee ballots must be returned to that location by 8:00pm rather than individual polling sites. Check with your local clerk if you need to know where to return your absentee ballot on Election Day. 

 
Can I vote in person? Yes. Polls will be open from 7 a.m. until 8 p.m. You may also vote early in person absentee at your local municipal clerk's office, both applying and filling out your ballot immediately and then returning to election workers. To find your city's hours, contact your municipal clerk.  

How do I make my vote count? If you vote absentee, you'll need to fill out your ballot in the presence of a witness who is a U.S. citizen, at least 18 years old, unless you're a military/overseas voter, in which case you just need a witness who is at least 18 years old. A witness may be a spouse, friend, family member, neighbor, etc. It cannot be an on-duty USPS worker or candidate up for election. 

You must refold your ballot and put it in the return envelope and seal it in front of your witness. A witness must just confirm that you filled out your own ballot, but you should fill out your ballot privately so the witness can't see who you voted for. Ensure all voter information is filled out and remember to sign the Certification of Voter section. Your witness must sign and provide their full address in the Certification of Witness section. 

Your ballot must be returned to your polling place (or central count facility) by 8 p.m. on Election Day. You can mail it, drop it off at your local clerk's office, at a polling site or central count facility or put it in an absentee ballot drop box if your city has any. The USPS recommends mailing your ballot no later than October 27 this year if you're sending it domestically. Track your ballot here.  

Will I know if it's rejected and can I correct it? Clerks are not required to notify voters of issues, though this is left to the discretion of each clerk. A clerk can let you know if there's an issue with your ballot, and you can correct the issue until 8 p.m. on Election Day.  

Who counts my vote and when do they start? Local clerks count the votes. They cannot start opening and counting ballots until Election Day.
