It’s almost time to vote.
The Dauphin County Board of Elections announced on Wednesday that it had begun sending out mail-in ballots and placing ballot drop-boxes ahead of the May 20 municipal primary election.
So far, 13,563 mail-in ballots have been requested, which voters can expect to receive in the coming days.
The elections office at 1251 S. 28th Street will extend its hours until 6 p.m. each day, from May 5 through 19. On Election Day, the office will remain open until 8 p.m.
Completed mail-in ballots can be returned to the elections office, by mail, or at one of seven secure drop boxes. Voters are only legally allowed to return their own ballot. Ballots that are returned by mail or at in-person locations must be received by 8 p.m. on May 20.
The last day to register to vote is May 5 and the last day to request a mail-in or absentee ballot is May 13.
