What is absentee voting?
Absentee voting is the ability to cast your vote in an election when you cannot make it to the polling place to cast your vote in person. Absentee voting is accomplished by filling out an absentee ballot and mailing it to voter services prior to election day.
Absentee voting in Pennsylvania requires that you request an absentee ballot from the state by printing and mailing in an absentee ballot request form, which must be done well in advance of the election so that you may receive the ballot in time in order to mail it to voter services by the deadline.
