A drop-box might be better for some voters early in the day for some mail-in voters who are COVID-conscious (for example), but in general: go to your polling location if you've not voted already on election day. The poll workers _will_ find some way for you to vote.

@vees

PA judge of elections here! Your guidance about election day mail-in ballots is technically true but lacks nuance and may mislead people. Poll workers are trained in a process by which voters who requested mail-in ballots can surrender them to receive a regular in-person-voting ballot. So all this to say: if you're reading this on election day and you still have your mail-in ballot (whether or not you've marked it), please DO go to your assigned location and ask for the folks working there to accept your surrendered mail-in ballot.

@sovietfish Almost all poll workers will try to find some way for you to vote. A very small handful are confident in their misinformation around first-time voters and cause issues.

@vees yeah and with them you just insist for them to call the county,they'll get set straight.

A lot of people all have to be wrong at the same time for you to get turned away at the polls. If they don't even give you a provisional ballot then everyone at that voting location done f'd up

@sovietfish Agree. Voting is safe and secure. Some people make mistakes.

@vees
"Every voter must place only their own ballot in the box."

I'm sorry, what?

Is this your opinion, or PA law?

Also, big signs on the boxes themselves.

@vees
Thanks. Seems like yet another way to restrict people from voting.

No such restrictions in WA, where I am. You may certainly drop off ballots for your elderly and disabled family and friends here.

@starlily you can drop off ballots for elderly or disabled, family, and friends as long as they sign for you as their agent
