MAIL-IN VOTING GETS UPDATED LOOK FOR SPRING PRIMARY

Mail-in voting in Pennsylvania will have a fresh look this spring with a newly-designed ballot which is intended to reduce mistakes.

The new ballots debut in the Primary election.  Mail-in voters will receive a ballot in an envelope with a blue stripe, and inside it they will find instructions and visual aids.  After filling out their ballot, they will put it in a yellow “secrecy” enclosure and place it inside a return envelope that has a purple stripe on it.

This year’s Primary Election is on April 23^rd.  Applications for a mail-in ballot must be received by the county elections office by April 16^th by 5 PM.  Completed ballots must be received by April 23^rd at 8 PM.
