How to submit your application:
In order to apply for an absentee ballot, you must supply your PA Driver’s License or PennDOT issued photo ID
card number in the Identification section. If you do not have a PA Driver’s License or PennDOT issued photo ID
card, you must supply the last four (4) digits of your Social Security number.
If you do not have a valid form of either of these types of identification, please check the box titled “I do not
have a PA driver’s license or a PennDOT ID card or a Social Security number” in the Identification section. If you
choose this option, you must enclose a photocopy of an acceptable ID.

Necessary identification:
If you have a permanent illness or a permanent disability you may be added to the annual absentee request
list. Once your physician signs the certification of permanent disability and your request is approved, you will
automatically receive ballots for the remainder of the year, and you will receive an application to renew your
request for absentee ballots each year.
