Before You Drop Off Your Ballot

Before dropping mail-in or absentee ballots into the drop-off box, voters must make sure their completed ballot is placed inside the smaller, secrecy envelope first.

Then, put the sealed secrecy envelope into the official return envelope and complete the Voter’s Declaration on the back, taking care to sign & date the outer envelope. Ballots that are not in both envelopes cannot be counted per Pennsylvania Election Code.

Under the Pennsylvania Election Code, voted ballots may only be returned by the individual voter and not by any other individuals.

All drop box locations are monitored using CCTV video surveillance. Anyone depositing a ballot that does not belong to them without a Designated Agent Form will be referred to the District Attorney’s Office.

Only ballots issued by Bucks County PA can be returned to a Bucks County secure ballot drop box.

If you live in another county, you must return your ballot to that county's Election Board.

If a voter has an illness or disability that will prevent them from dropping off their ballot, they can designate an agent to pick up or drop off their ballot.

The agent can only pick up or drop off ballots for voters who are in the same household. The first page should be signed by the agent, and the second page should be signed by the voter.
