Secretary of the Commonwealth Al Schmidt held the second in a series of daily media briefings leading up to the Nov. 5 general election."I want to remind everybody that today, Oct. 29, is the deadline to apply for a mail ballot," Schmidt said. "Voters can apply for a mail ballot online at vote.pa.gov. They can also apply for a mail ballot in person at their county election office, wait while their application is processed, receive their ballot, fill it out, and return it all in one visit. "At this point, this close to the election, I encourage all voters voting by mail ballot to hand deliver their completed ballots to their county election office or any other official ballot return location designated by their county," Schmidt added. Voters can find a list of official mail ballot return locations in their county on the Department of State's voter information website vote.pa.gov.The deadline for counties to receive a mail ballot is 8 p.m. on Election Day. Mail ballots received after that time, even if postmarked by Election Day, will not count. Speakers Include:Secretary of the Commonwealth Al Schmidt
