You can track the status of your ballot on PA Voter Services. If you provided your email address to your county election office at the time you registered to vote or applied for a ballot, you will receive an email notification when your returned ballot is recorded.
Many counties in Pennsylvania allow you to vote early by casting a mail ballot in person at your county election board or satellite offices. This is a great option if you’re worried about making it to your polling place on Election Day! At a county election office, you can request, complete, and submit your mail ballot in one visit.

There are two types of mail ballots in Pennsylvania.
Mail-In Voting
Mail-in ballots are for any eligible voter. You do not need an excuse or reason to request a mail-in ballot.
When you apply to be an annual mail voter, you are indicating that:
You want to receive a mail ballot for every election until the 3rd Monday in February of the following year. (You will automatically receive a mail ballot for any election during that period.)
AND
You would like your county board of elections to remind you to apply to vote by mail every year. By February, you will receive a paper request form for mail ballots for every election during that year or you can submit a request online. You must submit a request to vote by mail ballot every year that you wish to vote by mail.
