Voting in Chester County
How To Vote In Chester County
In Chester County, there are several ways to vote.
- Mail-in / Absentee Voting
- In-person at polling place on Election Day
- In-person by mail-in ballot in one visit to Chester County Voter Services (or other designated location)
Many voters don’t know about the option to vote in-person with a mail-in ballot.
If you are a registered Pennsylvania voter, you have the convenient option of applying for a mail-in ballot in person at your county elections office (or other designated location), and completing the ballot while there.
When ballots are ready, you can request, receive, vote (i.e. fill-in the ballot), and then submit your mail-in or absentee ballot all in one visit to Chester County Voter Services. Contact your county election office to see if ballots are ready.
With this option, you can also void your original mail-in ballot if you made a mistake or get a new ballot if you never received your mail-in ballot.
