All 12 of the Ballot Drop Box locations are listed in the Voter Services news release.

Before depositing mail-in or absentee ballots into the drop-off box, voter must make sure their completed ballot is placed inside the smaller, secrecy envelope first. Then, put the sealed secrecy envelope into the official return envelope and complete the voter’s declaration on the back. Ballots that are not in both envelopes cannot be counted per Pennsylvania Election Code. 

Pursuant to the Pennsylvania Election Code, voted ballots may only be returned by the individual voter and not by any other individuals. All drop box locations are monitored using CCTV video surveillance. Anyone depositing a ballot that does not belong to them will be referred to the District Attorney’s Office. 

If a voter has an illness or disability that prevents them from dropping off their ballot, they can designate an agent to pick up or drop off their ballot. The agent can only pick up or drop off ballots for voters who are in the same household, and the ballot can only be picked up at Montgomery County Voter Services located at 425 Swede St., 6th Floor, Norristown, PA 19401. 

Upcoming Deadlines

Voters are strongly encouraged to check their voter registration to make sure that their address, name, and party affiliation is correct well ahead of the deadline. Montgomery County residents can check their voter registration online at www.vote.pa.gov. The voter registration profile will also provide residents the address of their polling location and indicate if they are on the list to receive a ballot by mail for the November Election. 

Ballot status will update online at the Department of State website. Voters who provided an email address on their application will receive an email when the Montgomery County Election Board has received the ballot. All mail-in ballots must be received by 8 p.m. on November 8, 2022 – postmarks do not apply.

Any voter who was approved for a mail-in or absentee ballot and later decides to vote in person may do so. Voters should bring their ballot and envelopes to the polls with them to be voided by a poll worker, enabling the voter to vote in person. If a voter does not bring their mail-in ballot they can fill out a provisional ballot, which will only be counted once the Election Board verifies that the voter did not cast a ballot any other way.
