 In-Person Early Voting at the Office

Until October 27, you can receive your mail-in ballot in person at the Armstrong County Election Office, 450 Market Street in Kittanning, vote on the spot, and turn it in the same day! Hours for this service will be 10 AM to 2 PM Monday - Friday until October 27, which is the last day to apply for a mail-in ballot. 

HERE IS SOME ADDITIONAL INFO ABOUT IN-PERSON EARLY VOTING

BALLOTS ARE IN THE MAIL!

As of October 20, about 8,000 ballots have gone out to Armstrong County voters. We are processing additional applications in the order received, with additional mailings going out as soon as possible after they are processed. Please be patient; we are getting a lot of applications and we are working hard to process them. Everyone will get their ballot in time!

COUNTY BALLOT BOX IN KITTANNING As an alternative to mailing in your ballot, we have a great new ballot box in the Administration Building, 450 Market St. in Kittanning (next to the main courthouse.) The ballot box is on the 1st floor by the receptionist desk. It strong and secure, and is under video observation at all times. You can drop off your ballot anytime from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM Monday - Friday from now until Election Day. (extended hours to 8 PM on Election Day, November 3) Please note that voters must drop off their own ballot. You cannot drop off a ballot for any other voter unless that voter has a disability that prevents them from coming in person. This includes family members, friends, and neighbors unless they have a disability. If a voter has a disability and wants you to bring in their ballot, they must fill out this form and designate you as their agent to carry the ballot. Please have the signed form with you when you come to deposit the ballot.

BALLOT "MAILED ON" DATE: If you look up the progress of your ballot on the state website VotesPA.com, please note that the "mailed on" date is the date we created the mailing label to attach to your ballot before it goes out, NOT the actual date your ballot went into the mail. The actual date your ballot goes into the mail can be a day or so later.

Ballot Application Declined as a Duplicate?    DON'T WORRY!

If you got a notice that your absentee or mail-in application was declined for being a duplicate, don't panic, that usually means that your checked the box to get a ballot sent to you for the fall when you signed up to get one for the primary in the spring. If you accidentally sent in a second application you'll be notified that it was declined, but the state still has your first request in the system and you will still get your ballot.
