Absentee and Mail-in Ballots
In Pennsylvania you can request two different types of mail-in ballots: Absentee and Mail-in. Complete one of the applications and return it to the County Board of Elections:
Absentee Ballots
If you plan to be out of the municipality on election day or if you have a disability or illness that prevents you from going to your polling place on election day, you can request this ballot type, which still requires you to list a reason for your ballot.
Mail-in Ballots
Any qualified voter may apply for a mail-in ballot. You may simply request this ballot without a reason.
