Take a look at your calendar and tell me what’s on your agenda for Tuesday, November 8
th . . .
go ahead, I’ll wait while you check . . . did you see the notation that says “
GO VOTE”? If not, why not? Voting is a privilege, not a right, and should be handled with the utmost diligence and care.
But let's say you already know you will be out of town that day, or for some reason unable to make it to the polls . . . now what? Let's RAMP Government Affairs help you request the Absentee Ballot so your vote counts and your opinion expressed.
STEP 1: Start by
Clicking Here to Obtain an Application for an Absentee Ballot.
STEP 2: Print out, fill out, and then mail to the following address if you reside in Allegheny County:
Attn: Absentee Voting Section
Division of Elections
Allegheny County
542 Forbes Avenue, Room 601
Pittsburgh, PA 15219-2953
***If you live
outside of Allegheny County, click here to find the proper County Election Office in which to send your application.
STEP 3: Remember the Application for an Absentee Ballot is due by November 1st (but you really need to send it in today, so don't delay!)
STEP 4: Around October 25
th is the first date in which the County Election Office will print and mail out the Absentee Ballots. So the sooner you get your application in, the sooner you will receive back that Absentee Ballot.
STEP 5: Absentee Ballots must be in the possession of the County Election Office by November 4th (not postmarked, but
in their hands). Time is running out, and there should be no excuse to pass on your participation as a voter.
