1. Yes. Voters must apply every year to receive ballots in the mail for the remainder of that year (and through the third Monday in February of the following year). If you are on the annual list, your county board of elections will mail an annual application to you in February of each year. Complete and return that application to receive ballots for each election in which you are eligible to vote that year.
   
2. If you're not already on the annual mail-in voter list, you can  request to be placed on it. 
   

1. No. The only exceptions are if you are a voter with a disability and have designated someone, in writing, to deliver your ballot, or if you need an emergency absentee ballot.
2. Return your own ballot as soon as you receive it.  Mail it or deliver it in person to your county board of elections office or other official location designated by your county board of elections.

It depends on whether you asked to be an annual voter on your primary ballot application. 

1. If yes, then you do not need to reapply. If no, then you do.
2. If you're not sure, contact your county board of elections.
   

1. Check the status of your ballot online at vote.pa.gov/mailballotstatus.
2. Contact your county election office: vote.pa.gov/county.
3. If you did not receive or cast your mail ballot, you may request to vote a provisional ballot at your polling place on Election Day: https://www.vote.pa.gov/Voting-in-PA/Pages/Voting-at-a-Polling-Place.aspx. After county election officials verify that you did not vote by mail, they will count your provisional ballot.
   

1. When you receive your mail-in or absentee ballot, make sure you read all the instructions, and make sure you vote both sides of the ballot, if applicable.
2. Put your completed ballot in the inner secrecy envelope that indicates "Official Election Ballot." Do NOT make any marks on the secrecy envelope.
3. Then put the secrecy envelope inside the pre-addressed outer return envelope where the voter signs.
4. Complete the voter's declaration by signing and writing the current date. Be sure to seal the outer envelope.
5. Return your mail ballot to your county board of elections by mail, in person at your county election office or by dropping it off at another location designated by your county board of elections.
6. If you return your ballot by mail, you need a postage stamp for the envelope.

Yes. You will receive an application every year until you cancel your annual mail-in or absentee status or move to another county and do not request to transfer your status to the new county.

1. No.
2. If you received a mail ballot but did not complete it, you may surrender your incomplete mail ballot, along with both envelopes, at your polling place and vote a regular ballot.
3. If you did vote your mail ballot and returned it to your county board of elections, you are not eligible to vote at your polling place. If you believe that you are eligible to vote in person, you can vote by provisional ballot. Your provisional ballot will be reviewed by the county board of elections after Election Day.
4. If you requested a mail ballot but did not receive it, or you do not have it to surrender at your polling place, you may vote by provisional ballot at your polling place.
5. Remember that it is unlawful to fraudulently vote more than once in the same election.
