You can also apply for and cast a mail-in ballot in person at your Philadelphia county election and Satellite Election Offices before Election Day. To vote, you must first register and meet the state&#8217;s eligibility requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Vote by Mail<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Voting-by-mail or by absentee ballot is safe, secure, and easy. In Pennsylvania, you have two vote-by-mail options. Any registered voter can apply for a mail-in ballot without needing a specific reason. Registered voters who can\u2019t make it to their polling place on Election Day because of illness, disability, work, or travel can apply for an absentee\/mail-in ballot online or vist an official Philadelphia County or Satellite Election Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pavoterservices.pa.gov\/OnlineAbsenteeApplication\/#\/OnlineMailInBegin\" target=_blank><button class=\"blue\">Apply for a Mail-in Ballot<\/button><\/a>\n\n\n\n<hr \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Find Your Polling Place<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Look up your local polling place so you know where to go to cast your vote on Election Day. Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Election Day. Any voter in line by 8 p.m. is allowed to vote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/vote.phila.gov\/voting\/election-day\/where-is-my-polling-place\/\" target=_blank><button class=\"blue\">Find Your Polling Place<\/button><\/a>\n\n\n\n<hr \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Philadelphia Drop Box Locations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are no permanent mail-in ballot dropboxes in Philadelphia, temporary locations are made available by the City Commissioners before each election. Follow the directions carefully when completing your ballot. Bring your ballot to a dropbox location below before 8 p.m. on Election Day. If there is enough time you can mail it. If you change your mind and wish to vote in person, present your complete mail-in package to the Judge of Elections on Election Day so the ballot can be destroyed and you can vote on the machine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=iA_kNSHxqoc\" target=_blank><button class=\"blue\" style=\"margin-right: 10px;\">Preparing Your Mail-in Ballot<\/button><\/a>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/vote.phila.gov\/ballot-drop-off\/\" target=_blank><button class=\"blue\" style=\"margin-right: 10px;\">Find Drop-Off Locations<\/button><\/a>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.aclupa.org\/know-your-rights-page\/know-your-rights-polls\/#:~:text=Share%20this%20page,at%20least%2010%20feet%20away.\" target=_blank><button class=\"blue\">Know Your Rights at the Polls<\/button><\/a>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Everything you need to know to vote in Philadelphia.
