UPDATES 10/14/2020
On October 14, the Elections Division announced that a ballot imaging error by Midwest Direct resulted in incorrect ballots being sent to 28,879 voters in Allegheny County. All impacted voters will be receiving corrected ballots the week of October 19. Read the full statement from Elections Division Manager Dave Voye, the letter from Midwest Direct, and the related press release.
All corrected ballots have now been delivered to the post office for mailing. The corrected ballots will have an orange bar on the outer envelope and on the declaration envelope, as well as those words. If you are not certain whether your ballot was correct, voters may always view the sample ballot for their municipality, ward and district on the county’s webpage. If a voter is unsure of his or her municipality, ward and district, they can use the state’s “Find Voter Registration Status” tool. On the page, where the polling place address is listed, the municipality, ward and district are also found.
Please contact the office directly using this form for additional information and options.
NOTE: October 19, 2020, is the last day to register before the November 3, 2020, general election.
To vote in Pennsylvania, you must first register to vote at least 15 days before the election.
You can register to vote online, by mail, or at a number of government agencies, including Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) Photo License and Driver’s License Centers.

Mail-in ballot – Any qualified voter may apply for a mail-in ballot. You may simply request this ballot without a reason.
Absentee ballot – If you plan to be out of the municipality on election day or if you have a disability or illness, you should request this ballot type, which still requires you to list a reason for your ballot.
