The next important deadline for this election is October 26 — that is the last day voters can request an Absentee Ballot. Do you know any family members, friends or colleagues who may not be able to make it to the polls November 2 due to an illness, military service or other events that have them out of town on Election Day? Did you know they can still cast their vote?

Voters unable to vote at their polling place on Election Day may be eligible to vote by absentee ballot. The Pennsylvania Absentee Ballot Application can be downloaded online at http://www.votespa.com/. Application deadline is October 26.
