On the other hand, Pennsylvania Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar, commented, “This online application is our latest innovation to make voting more convenient and increase voter participation. The deadlines set in the 1937 election code have become increasingly challenging to meet, and the ability to apply online will cut days from the process.”
Registered voters who want to apply for absentee ballots online are required to provide their PennDOT driver license or ID number. The deadline for absentee ballot application by paper or online this year is on October 29 at 5:00 pm.
Registered voters with illness or disabilities, those who will be away from their municipalities and students attending out-of-state colleges or universities on Election Day may cast absentee ballots.
