Today at 5pm is the deadline to apply to vote by mail!

After today, you can only request replacement ballots, turn your ballot in, or vote in-person on Nov. 3.

The U.S. Supreme Court’s denial of a request to move the deadline for receipt of mail-in ballots back to Nov. 3 means that PA election officials will be able to count ballots that arrive as late as Friday, Nov. 6, as long as they have been postmarked by Nov. 3. (The deadline to return ballots in person remains 8 PM on Election Day.) But a new challenge to the deadline filed in federal court Thursday could wind up before the Supreme Court after Amy Coney Barrett’s confirmation, and since this week’s SCOTUS ruling was 4-4, a full court could move the deadline back to Nov. 3. Regardless, voters should be returning their mail-in ballots now!
