Pennsylvanians who are currently in quarantine due to COVID-19 should contact their County Elections Office for an emergency absentee ballot if they were planning to vote in person but now cannot.
“Every Pennsylvanian who is registered to vote will have the opportunity to do so,” said Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar. “There’s an emergency ballot provision under the law. If you can’t deliver your own balloting materials you can assign a designee to do that for you. And if you can’t find a designee, the law actually requires the county election office to have a Sheriff’s Deputy or some county official to deliver the balloting materials for the voter.”
“Pennsylvanians can vote safely, even if you are in isolation or quarantine because you have COVID-19 or have been exposed to it,” said Secretary of Health Dr. Rachel Levine. “If you are not quarantined and plan to vote in person, make sure you add your COVID kit to your voting plan. This includes a mask, a black or blue pen, hand sanitizer and the COVID Alert app on your phone.”
