Pennsylvania primary moved to June 2; Mail-in ballots available

March 30, 2020

Pennsylvania’s primary election has been postponed to June 2.

Gov. Tom Wolf recently signed legislation to move the primary from April 28 to June 2 due to the COVID-19 emergency. The legislation also expands provisions for mail-in voting in case restrictions are still in place and allows counties to consolidate polling places to make up for possible shortages of poll workers and locations.

Absentee and mail-in ballots are due May 26. 

More information on absentee and mail-in ballots is available here.

Mail-in and absentee ballots will begin to be counted at 7 a.m. on the morning of the primary rather than after the polls close because of an expected increase in the number of people who choose not to vote in person.
