1. Can I come into the office to vote?

If you are voting by absentee ballot, you may come into the Voter Services Office to vote instead of applying by mail. We will process your application and hand you your ballot; you may then vote your ballot in the office and hand it back in, or take it home with you. Please contact the office to verify that ballots are available prior to coming in to vote.

Reminder - the last day to apply for an absentee ballot is 5 pm the Tuesday before Election Day. Postmarks do not apply.

2. Can I fax or email my application?

No, original voter signatures are required for the application to be valid unless you are a qualified military or civilian overseas voter. You may apply using the online application, which can be found at www.votespa.com

3. I am close to the deadline, will the Election Board overnight my ballot?

We will not upgrade shipping on any ballots we mail to voters. However, if you provide us with a prepaid overnight FedEx or UPS envelope, we will gladly place your ballot in there for mailing. Some voters will enclose the prepaid envelope when they mail in the absentee request.

4. I cannot get out to pick up an application, is there another way to apply?

Yes, you may send us a letter requesting an absentee ballot. The letter must include the following information:

• Address where the ballot is to be mailed
• Date of birth
• Name of voter
• Reason for requesting absentee ballot
• Registered Montgomery County address
• Signature of voter

As well as one of the following: PA Driver’s license/PennDOT ID #, last four digits of your SS #, or a copy of an accepted photo identification.
