Pennsylvania Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar reminds voters that they
have their choice of voting by mail-in ballot or going to their polling
place on June 2, primary election day. While in person voting will be
available for counties in the red phase of reopening, the Wolf
administration is encouraging all voters to apply for a mail-in ballot
at
https://www.pavoterservices.pa.gov/OnlineAbsenteeApplication/#/OnlineAbsenteeBegin.
“For the first time, Pennsylvanians have the option of voting by
convenient and secure mail-in ballot without having to provide an
excuse, thanks to the bipartisan Act 77 of 2019 signed into law by Gov.
Wolf last fall,” Boockvar said. “But all counties, including those still
in the COVID-19 pandemic red phase on June 2, will have polling places
open for voters who prefer to vote in-person.”
The deadline to apply for a mail-in ballot is May 26. Visit
www.votespa.com
to apply or call 1-877-VOTESPA (1-877-868-3772) to receive an
application in the mail.
The Department of State and counties are preparing to exercise every
precaution to provide safe polling places for in-person voters and
Pennsylvania’s dedicated poll workers.
The voter registration deadline for the June 2 primary is May 18. To register, visit
