Make your voting plan!
The Rules are the Same. Your Rights are the Same.

1. Vote by Mail:

Nothing has changed for voters. If you want to vote by mail, you can request and return your ballot as usual. Our advice remains: request early, return early.
Remember, If you ever request a ballot and it doesn't arrive, you can always vote in person with a provisional ballot.

2. Vote "Over the Counter" at a Satellite Site or at the County Elections Office.

This option allows you to submit your vote early without sending anything through the mail.
October 27 is the last day to vote "Over the Counter".

3. Vote in Person on Election Day at your polling place.

To stay up to date on Allegheny County voting details, subscribe to the "Allegheny Votes" newsletter.

Election Day is November 3!
