If you have a state driver’s license, you must provide your driver’s license number on your registration form.

Pennsylvania doesn’t offer early voting, but some counties provide no-excuse absentee and mail-in ballot applications in person up to 50 days before Election Day. Please contact your county elections office for more details.

You can find your polling place by utilizing your state resource.

If you have further questions on your polling place location, please contact your county clerk.

All Registered voters can request a no-excuse mail-in ballot. You do not have to provide a reason for why you want to vote-by- mail; this means you can just request a mail-in ballot and do not need to request an absentee ballot regardless of the reason for voting by mail. You can apply online,  by paper form (available in English and Spanish), in person at your County Election Office, or by sending a signed letter to the office.

• When you receive your mail-in ballot, fill it out, place it in the secrecy envelope, seal the secrecy envelope, place it in the outer envelope, sign and date the outer envelope, and seal the outer envelope.

Step 2: Return your ballot: There are several official ways to return your mail-in ballot in Pennsylvania:

1. By Mail: Return your ballot by mail using the instructions provided with your ballot. Your county election office must receive it by 8:00 p.m. on May 19, 2026.
2. In-Person at Your County Elections Office: To return your ballot in-person, you can visit your county election office. Click here to find your local office.
3. At a Drop Box or Other County-Designated Return Location: :  Availability depends on your county. Pennsylvania directs voters to check their county election office for ballot return location information. Check your county’s website for information.
4.  At an Officially Designated Location for On-Demand Mail Ballot Voting: Registered voters may be able to request, receive, vote, and submit their mail ballot in one visit at their county election office or another officially designated location, if their county offers it. Voters should check with their county first. Check your county’s website for information.

**Ballots must be received by 8:00 p.m. on Election Day, May 19, 2026.**
