Voting deadlines will change for the Primary Election in 2020 with the passage of new legislation called Act 77 of 2019 and signed into law by Governor Wolf in October 31, 2019. Some highlights include:
- Allows no-excuse mail-in voting and allows mail-in and absentee ballot submission deadlines to 8 p.m. on Election Day, rather than 5 p.m. the Friday before an election.
- Sets a 50-day mail-in voting period: Voters can request and submit their mail-in or absentee ballot up to 50 days before the election.
- Establishes a permanent mail-in and absentee ballot list
- Extends voter registration time: The deadline to register to vote is extended to 15 days from 30 days before an election.
- Eliminates straight-party ticket voting in the General Election
Last day to REGISTER before the primary is April 13, 2020
