Pa. primary election 2025: Everything you need to know about requesting, filling out, and returning your mail ballot
HARRISBURG — On May 20, Democrats and Republicans in Pennsylvania will vote for their parties’ candidates in the municipal primary election. Depending on where you live, your ballot could include races for mayor, school board, city council, various judicial offices, district attorney, and more.
While many voters will head to their local polling place on Election Day, others will opt to vote by mail. All registered voters in the commonwealth have been able to vote by mail since 2020.
Mail voting can be confusing and has been made even more so over the past five years by legal challenges, disinformation undermining public faith in elections, and efforts by many Republican lawmakers to prohibit its use.
It has also been extremely popular among Pennsylvanians who need or want more flexibility when they vote. In the 2024 presidential race, nearly 2 million voters in the commonwealth cast their ballots by mail.
