ELECTION CALENDAR

Primary Election – April 23, 2024*

*April 23 falls on Passover holiday; if this or any other need makes it tougher to vote on 4/23, voting by mail is an option.

Monday, March 4, 2024 – MAIL IN BALLOTS MAY BE READY (50 days before Election Day) – Counties must begin processing vote by mail requests; this means voters may start receiving and casting their mail in ballots (except if pending court actions about ballot issues delay this process). UPDATE: Mail in Ballots are expected to begin printing after March 25, as court actions are being resolved.

Monday, April 8, 2024 – VOTER REGISTRATION UPDATES DUE
(15 days before Election Day) – DEADLINE to make any updates to voter registration in PA, including address and party affiliation (important for primary). **Also – 4/8 is the Recommended EARLY deadline to apply for a Mail In Ballot.

Tuesday, April 16, 2024 – MAIL IN BALLOT REQUESTS ARE DUE (7 days before Election Day) – but don’t wait this long!! **Also – 4/16 is the Recommended EARLY deadline to put Mail In Ballots into the US Mail.
