Ballot Return FAQs

Can I drop off another voter’s ballot?

Yes! As long as you and the voter fills out an “AUTHORIZE A DESIGNATED AGENT TO HELP YOU OBTAIN AND/OR RETURN YOUR MAIL-IN OR ABSENTEE BALLOT” form. Click here.

How many ballots can I return?

You may only return your own ballot and the ballots for voters that you are a ‘Designated Agent’ for. These voters must be from the same household.

Can I return multiple ballots from different households?

No. You may only be a ‘Designated Agent’ for one household.

Example: Mr. and Mrs. Smith ask you to return their mail-in ballots for them. They sign the “AUTHORIZE A DESIGNATED AGENT TO HELP YOU OBTAIN AND/OR RETURN YOUR MAIL-IN OR ABSENTEE BALLOT” form and give it to you. The next day, your husband asks you to return his mail-in ballot for him. You cannot return his because you are already a Designated Agent for Mr. and Mrs. Smith.

Is it illegal to drop off multiple mail-in ballots without having a signed “AUTHORIZE A DESIGNATED AGENT TO HELP YOU OBTAIN AND/OR RETURN YOUR MAIL-IN OR ABSENTEE BALLOT” form?

Yes! It is illegal to drop off multiple mail-in ballots without having a signed “AUTHORIZE A DESIGNATED AGENT TO HELP YOU OBTAIN AND/OR RETURN YOUR MAIL-IN OR ABSENTEE BALLOT” form.

Can I be a ‘Designated Agent’ for several residents in a nursing home or rehabilitation facility?

Yes. But ONLY if those residents live within the same room of a facility. Pennsylvania Department of State guidance states:

A “household” for the purpose of designating an agent does not include a long-term care facility. However, a couple sharing a room or apartment within a facility may be considered members of the same household. This means that each resident who is unable to return their own voted ballot due to a disability must designate a different agent
