Pennsylvania mail ballot deadline for primary election approaching

(WHTM)– The primary election in Pennsylvania is set for May 20, but individuals seeking to apply for a mail-in ballot have less than a month before the deadline.

According to the State Department, the deadline to apply for a mail-in ballot for the 2025 Primary Election is May 13, seven days before the election. Secretary of the Commonwealth Al Schmidt said that 692,919 mail ballot applications have already been approved ahead of the primary.

“Voting by mail has become a popular, safe, and secure option for Pennsylvanians to cast their ballots and make their voices heard,” Schmidt said. “Eligible Pennsylvanians who prefer to vote by mail should apply today to allow for as much time as possible to ensure their ballot is received on time.”

Specifically, mail ballot applications must be received by a voter’s county elections board by 5 p.m. on May 13, per the Shapiro Administration.

The Shapiro Administration said voters can also request a mail ballot, complete it, and return it to their county election office before it closes on May 13. This can be done by visiting a county election office or calling to see if they are ready.

Some counties have drop boxes and dropoff sites with information available online. Pennsylvanians can also apply for a mail ballot online.

“No matter how you choose to vote – by mail ballot or in person at the polls on Election Day – what matters is making your voice heard,” Schmidt said.
