Delaware County voters may use any of the boxes.

Voters also may return completed mail/absentee ballots through the U.S. postal service (no postage required).

All ballots must be received by 8 p.m. on Tues., Nov. 7.

As of Friday, the Delaware County Bureau of Elections has processed more than 40,000 mail/absentee applications and, through Friday, has received 10,700 returned mail/absentee ballots.

Delaware County Elections reminds voters to properly mark, seal, and return their mail/absentee ballot to ensure that the ballot can be counted.

Voters must follow these steps:

  1. Place the marked ballot in the white ‘Secrecy Envelope’ provided with the ballot (this envelope, per State Law, is marked “Official Ballot Envelope”).
  2. Seal the Secrecy Envelope.
  3. Place the sealed Secrecy Envelope into the Ballot Return Envelope.
  4. Seal the Ballot Return Envelope.
  5. Sign the declaration (on the back of the Ballot Return Envelope).
  6. Enter today’s date where indicated (on the back of the Ballot Return Envelope).
  7. Return the sealed Ballot Return Envelope through the US Postal Service (no postage needed), or at any Delaware County Ballot Drop Box.

If a mistake is made in completing and sealing the ballot, voters can call the Delaware County Election Hotline at 610-891-8683 for guidance.

Voters also may visit the Delaware County Voter Service Center in Media to receive a replacement ballot or envelope.

As a reminder, mail/absentee ballots are sent only to voters who have completed an application for a mail ballot in 2023, which must include valid ID.

Applications are available on the Delco Votes! website.

Voters may verify the status of their ballot on the Pennsylvania Department of State website here.

The deadline for Pennsylvania residents to request a mail/absentee ballot is Tuesday, Oct. 31.

Applications can be completed online here or in-person at the Delaware County Voter Service Center in Media.

Delaware County registered voters who apply for a mail/absentee ballot but do not receive their ballot within 5 business days need to call 610-891-8683 or visit the Voter Service Center.

Voters are reminded that they may return only their own ballot. An exception is allowed only to assist a disabled voter or an emergency absentee voter and requires a declaration form signed by the voter and by the person retuning the ballot.

This form is available online here.

Delaware County residents may visit the Delco Votes! website for additional election news, information, and reminders.
