Vote by Mail FAQ
Mailed your ballot, but don’t see an email stating that it was received? Check the status.
 
🗳️If you received a mail-in ballot but want to vote at the polls, take your ballot and envelopes with you. They will be destroyed, and you will vote using a regular ballot.
 
If you requested but didn’t receive your mail-in ballot, you are legally entitled to fill out a provisional ballot at the polls.
 
Still need to fill out your ballot and return it? It must be RECEIVED, not just postmarked, by Election Day, so it is TOO LATE to put it in the MAIL.
 

🫵Only you or your 🙋designated agent can drop off your ballot at the Board of Elections at the 🏛️ Beaver County Courthouse on 810 3rd Street in Beaver. If you wait until Tuesday, the front entrance will be closed. Go to the door off of the parking lot at the back of the building. 

 

Follow these instructions to complete your mail ballot.

 

✍️Use blue or black ink to fill in the ovals, including the ovals next to any write-ins.

 

📩Place the ballot in the yellow envelope labeled Official Election Ballot.

❌DON’T make any marks on this envelope. (Test your pen on something else.)

 

💌Seal the yellow envelope and place it in the return envelope with YOUR NAME on the back. Don’t sign the envelope that belongs to another member of your household!

 

✍️Seal, sign, and add the date on the outside of the envelope. Return the ballot to the Courthouse.

Voting at the Polls

Do you have a plan to vote in person? Find your polling place here. Polls are open from 7 am to 8 pm. 

1st Time Voting? New Polling Place?

If you are a first-time voter or voting at a new polling place, be prepared to show an accepted form of ID.

Issues?

If you are told that you cannot vote using a regular ballot for any reason (not registered, wrong polling place, requested a mail ballot, etc.), you are legally entitled to request and receive a provisional ballot.

 

If you have an accessibility issue, learn more about available accommodations here.

 

If you experience problems with the above or witness voter intimidation or other issues, ask to speak to the Judge of Elections in charge of the polling place. If the issue isn’t resolved, call 1-833-PA-VOTES. Then, call our Chair, Erin Gabriel, at 781-534-2541.

If you have an illness, emergency, or last-minute, unexpected absence from your municipality, you can request an emergency absentee ballot.
