Voter Registration Deadline For May Primary: May 1

RADNOR, PA —Delaware County Elections reminds Radnor Township voters that voting by mail in Pennsylvania is quick, convenient, and secure.

Last November, more than 58,000 Delaware County voters participated with vote-by-mail ballots, accounting for more than one-fifth of all ballots cast.

Voters who wish to vote by mail must submit an application with a valid ID to request their vote-by-mail ballot.

Key dates to vote in the May 16 primary:

• May 1 – Last day to register to vote;
• May 9 - Last day to request a mail-in or absentee ballot
• May 16 - Polls open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Ballots are not mailed to voters automatically, even if the person voted by mail previously. To apply for a vote-by-mail ballot, Delaware County-registered voters can visit the DelcoVotes! website and complete the online application or download and complete a paper application

For the upcoming May 16 Primary Election, vote-by-mail ballots are scheduled to be mailed to voters this month.

County ballot drop boxes are scheduled to open on May 1 for the May 16 Primary Election.

Ballots must be received by the bureau by 8 p.m. on Election Night, so voters are advised to return their ballot in person or through a county drop box instead of relying on USPS near or on Election Day. By law, ballots that arrive after 8 p.m. cannot be counted.
