Speaking of upcoming events, are you busy on Nov. 5? If you’re hesitating about voting because you don’t want to make the effort to get to the polls, there is a solution! Pennsylvania allows ALL registered voters to vote by mail if they choose to. If you’re planning to vote by mail-in or absentee ballot in the 2024 election, your application must be received by next Tuesday, Oct. 29. Request a mail-in or absentee ballot here.
