Getting Prepared

Absentee and Mail-in Ballots on Election Day

  • Did you verify that you are registered to vote and  all your information is accurate? 
    • IMPORTANT - The deadline to register to vote or update your information closes two weeks before Election Day.

  • Did you confirm your polling place location? 
    • The polling place locator uses your physical address not your municipality where you reside.

  • Did you review a sample ballot? If you do not know your municipality, district or ward, you can find it on the polling place locator using the link above.

  •  Are you going to be in your voting district on Election Day?
  • Did you return your voted absentee or mail-in ballot?
    • The deadline to return a voted absentee or mail-in ballot is by 8:00 pm November 5, 2024. Postmarks no longer apply.
    • If hand delivering, only the actual voter may return their ballot, unless you designate an agent. 
    • Dropbox locations are available around the county. As the election approaches, it is best to return your voted ballot to the Monroe County Administrative Center, One Quaker Plaza, Room 105, Stroudsburg, PA 18360.

  • Are you a first-time voter?
    • First-time voters, including individual voters who are voting for the first-time at the polling place, will be asked to show an approved form of identification. 
      • Approved forms of photo id (the id must be valid and not expired)
        • PA driver's license or ID card issued by PennDot
        • ID issued by any Commonwealth agency
        • ID issued by the U.S. Government
        • U.S. Passport
        • U.S. Armed Forces ID
        • Student ID
        • Employee ID
      • Approved forms on non-photo id (must contain the name and address of the elector)
        • Voter's identification card issued by the Elections Office
        • Non-photo ID issued by the Commonwealth
        • Non-photo ID issued by the Government
        • Firearm permit
        • Current utility bill
        • Current bank statement
        • Current paycheck
        • Government check
  • Absentee and Mail-in ballots must be received by 8:00 pm on Election Day in order to be canvassed and counted.

  • You MAY NOT drop a voted ballot at your polling location.

  • If you applied for an absentee or mail-in ballot but have opted to go to your polling location to vote, there are two (2) options:
    • Option # 1 - Take your ballot and declaration envelope to your polling location. Inform the poll worker you wish to vote in-person and are surrendering your ballot and materials. The poll worker will mark the ballot surrendered, place the ballot in an envelope to be returned to the Elections Office. You will need to sign a form confirming you surrendered your ballot and are voting in-person. Once done, you can vote as you have in the past.

    • Option #2 - If you did not receive your ballot or cannot locate it, you can still vote at your polling location. You will need to cast a provisional ballot. Once voted, you will return your ballot to the poll worker who will secure it in an envelope and note the reason why you requested a provisional ballot. Your vote will not be counted on Election Day but will instead be returned to the Election Board for review as part of the Election Board process. Once the board verifies the provisional ballot is valid, it will be opened and counted and added to the overall vote.
