The Lycoming County Board of Elections is aware of extended U.S. Mail delivery timeframes in Pennsylvania that are affecting voters who applied for absentee and mail-in ballots to vote in the June 2 General Primary.
Please know that the Board of Elections processed all absentee ballot and mail-in ballot applications, and that ballots were mailed to voters on the very next day after each application was processed.
Voters who applied for an absentee ballot or a mail-in ballot for the June 2 General Primary and have not yet received their ballots in the mail have two options to vote:
- Call Voter Services at (570) 327-2267 to cancel your old ballot and issue a new one, and to choose a time to come in to pick it up. You would also have the option to vote the ballot in person while there.
- Vote in person at your polling place on June 2 by provisional ballot. Provisional ballots cast at the polls are not counted on Election Day, but must be held until after the election to verify that the voter did not already return an absentee ballot or mail-in ballot.
Voted absentee ballots and mail-in ballots must be returned to Voter Services before 8:00pm on Tuesday, June 2 in order to be counted. Postmarks do not count.
Voters may drop off their voted ballots in person at Voter Services in order to avoid the mail. Voter Services is located at 33 West Third Street, Williamsport – directly across Third Street from the county courthouse – on the first floor of the building.
If you applied for an absentee or mail-in ballot and must vote at the polls because your ballot did not arrive in the mail, the provisional ballot you cast at the polls will be counted.
