(Harrisburg, PA, Tuesday, May 12, 2020) – Pennsylvania’s election has been rescheduled for June 2 after being rescheduled from March 28 over concerns about COVID-19.

No changes to in-person voting has been announced yet.

Meanwhile All Voting is Local is working to ensure that Pennsylvanians are aware of the new no-excuse option to request a mail-in ballot.

Pennsylvania voters need to know that May 18 is the deadline to update voter registration information and May 26 is the deadline to request a mail ballot.

Voter turnout may be down compared to the 2016 primary. Voters may be left out of the process because they are not aware of when the voting has been rescheduled, how to vote using the vote by mail system or that they need to obtain a vote by mail ballot and mail it back by the June 2 deadline.
