📬 Mail-in ballots started arriving in Elk County mailboxes over the weekend!

If you recently applied for a mail-in ballot, yours should be arriving soon.

Here are a few quick reminders for :

✅ Complete your ballot as soon as you receive it.

Place your completed ballot inside the yellow privacy/secrecy envelope and seal it. Then place that envelope inside the outer return envelope and seal it.

Be sure to sign and date the declaration on the outer envelope before returning your ballot.

How can you return it?

📮 By mail:
Add the required postage, and place it in the mail as soon as possible. You can put properly stamped mail in your home mailbox, a USPS collection box, or take it directly to your local Post Office.

🏛️ In person:
You may also personally deliver your ballot to the Elk County Elections Office, 300 Center Street in Ridgway, during regular office hours.

A few important legal reminders:

If your ballot is being returned directly to the Elections Office or another official ballot return location, you generally must return your own ballot.

There is an exception for voters with a disability who need assistance picking up or returning their ballot or other voting materials. Those voters may authorize a Designated Agent by completing the required Designated Agent form.

A properly authorized Designated Agent may return ballot materials on behalf of the voter and should bring the completed Designated Agent form when returning the ballot.

⏰ No matter how you plan to return your mail-in ballot, don’t wait until the last minute. Return it as soon as you can so it reaches the Elections Office by the deadline.

Make your plan, double-check your envelope, and get your ballot returned!

Trump tried to block mail-in voting! The Supreme Court slapped him down. Send a loud and clear message he was wrong! Apply today!

Mail-in Ballots will be hitting mailboxes in the coming days in Elk County. If you already applied to get one, keep watch.

If you haven't applied yet, we really need you to apply today - you'll get your mail-in ballot within days of applying. Then, once you have your ballot, we encourage everyone to fill it out, get it back in the envelopes (remember to sign and date the envelope) and get it back to the Elections Office ASAP!

You will have two options to get it there- stamp it and get it in the mail or take it directly to the Elections Office, 300 Center St. in Ridgway weekdays from 8:30am to 4:00pm. The sooner you get it back, the sooner you know that your votes are banked and secure!

Donald J. Trump tried to scare people away from using mail-in ballots. We can all join together and fight back by making sure you get your mail-in ballot back as soon as you get it. Luckily, the US Supreme Court has smacked his hands and stopped the USPS from helping carry out his illegal tactics. We are confident that your votes are safe but we need to make sure you GUARANTEE that your ballot gets back well before Election Day Tues. Nov. 3rd.

Haven't applied yet? DO IT ONLINE TODAY!!!
