Secretary of the Commonwealth Al Schmidt today held the first of a series of daily media briefings leading up to the Nov. 5 general election.Secretary Schmidt reminded voters of the deadline tomorrow, Oct. 29, to apply for a mail ballot."I urge anyone considering voting by mail ballot to apply immediately online at vote.pa.gov," Schmidt said. "At this point, time is of the essence, and the sooner you apply, the sooner your mail ballot will arrive." For voters applying in person at their county elections office, the deadline is also tomorrow. Schmidt noted that you can apply, wait while your application is processed, receive your ballot, fill it out, and return it all in one visit. The deadline to return your mail ballot is 8 p.m. Election Day. County elections offices must receive ballots by then. Mail ballots returned after that time, even if postmarked by 8 p.m. Nov. 5, will not count. Schmidt also reminded mail ballot voters to sign and put the current date on the outer return envelope so that your ballot can be counted. Speakers Include:Secretary of the Commonwealth Al Schmidt
