BUCKS COUNTY, PA — Vote-by-mail season is officially underway in Bucks County.
The Bucks County Board of Elections sent out its first batch of mail ballots late last week and expects those ballots to arrive in voters' mailboxes in the coming days.
And starting this week, the county's seven in-person "on-demand" mail-in ballot locations are open and ready to assist voters who want to vote by mail but might prefer to skip the post office.
Ballots are available "on demand" at the Board of Elections main office in Doylestown and at its satellite offices at the county's Government Services Centers in Quakertown and Levittown.
New for the 2026 General Election, the service is available at the county's new temporary election offices at the Warminster Township Free Library and at the Upper Bucks, Lower Bucks, and Newtown campuses of the Bucks County Community College.
Hours of operation vary by location, so check the schedule at BucksCounty.gov/OnDemand before heading to a preferred "on-demand" location.
Each location also features a secure ballot drop box that is staffed during operating hours by a Board of Elections employee. Additional drop boxes will open at libraries throughout Bucks County beginning on Oct. 19.
"On-demand" mail-in voting is one option available to voters in Bucks County. Voters choosing to vote by mail are not required to apply in person for their ballot. Voters can instead request their ballot online by visiting the Pennsylvania Voter Services website or by mailing a paper application to the Board of Elections.
The last day to request a mail-in ballot is Oct. 27. Voters must return their ballots to the Board of Elections no later than 8 p.m. on Election Day, Nov. 3.
Voters who prefer to cast their ballot in person on Election Day are welcome to do so at their polling place any time between 7 a.m. and 8 p.m. on Nov. 3.
