[EL] PA Absentee Ballots

[Adam Bonin]

Applications were due today; last night Gov. Corbett extended the deadline
via an Executive Order, per the terms in the press release below.

 

Absentee Ballot Application Deadline Extended on County by County Basis 

Harrisburg - Gov. Tom Corbett today ordered the deadline for county election
offices to receive applications for absentee ballots to be extended, on a
county-by-county basis, depending on whether the county courthouse was
closed for business any day this week due to Hurricane Sandy. 

The deadline for voters to have absentee ballot applications to county
election offices is tomorrow, Oct. 30. However, that deadline will be
extended one day for each day a voter's county courthouse is closed this
week, but no later than Friday, Nov. 2, by 5 p.m. 

"I urge voters to mail applications immediately, and county election
officials to process these applications and get absentee ballots to voters
as quickly as possible," said Secretary of the Commonwealth Carol Aichele,
whose department oversees elections. Aichele noted voters may mail absentee
ballot applications to their county election office, or deliver the
application in person. 

Voters who become physically disabled or ill, or who learn they must be
absent from your municipality of residence because of your business, duties,
or occupation, can file for an emergency absentee ballot, by completing and
filing with the Court of Common Pleas in their county an emergency absentee
ballot application. 

Information on filing absentee ballot applications is available at
