Chalkboard reading A-B-Cs of Back to School Voting, Easy as 1-2-3, A = Awareness, B = Ballot, C = Cast, with a stars and stripes apple

A-B-C

A is for Awareness

Decide on your overall approach to voting this Nov 3rd.

B is for Ballot

Request your mail-in or absentee ballot, and watch this site for your sample ballot of endorsed candidates. We will publish them here as soon as they are ready.

C is for Cast

If you are away from the area, mail your ballot in as soon as you can. It is a straightforward slate of candidates this year. If you are in Chester County and voting by mail, find a dropbox. We will publish locations here as soon as they are approved. If you are away but will be coming home between October 13th and Nov 3rd, vote in person at one of the county’s Ballot Services Offices. All you need is a photo ID (a student ID counts if it’s from a PA school). We will publish office locations here as soon as they are available.

Easy as 1-2-3

  1. If you will be 18 on Election Day, register to vote NOW.
  2. If you are already registered and moved, check and update your registration NOW.
  3. If you will not be home for Election Day (living on campus, out of state, or you just want to avoid the lines), request your mail-in or absentee ballot NOW.

Dates that Matter

Now Register to vote, check your registration, apply for a mail-in/absentee ballot

Oct 27 Last Day to Apply for mail-in/absentee ballot
Nov 3 Election Day*

*Mail-in ballots must be received by Voter Services by 8:00 PM on Nov 3rd (a postmark is not enough). Also, we anticipate irregularities with the USPS, so mail your ballot as early as possible, drop it off in a collection box, or take it to Voter Services. Think of Election Day as your last day to vote – not your only day to vote.
