Each voter may return ONLY THEIR OWN BALLOT (no one else’s, not even a family member’s or neighbor’s) to a designated drop box, or the County Board of Elections ASAP and no later than Election Day (November 8, 2022).
 

GETTING STARTED

  • I have my ballot, the official election envelope (sometimes called the 'secrecy' envelope), and the return envelope. If anything is missing, please call the County Board of Elections at 610-278-3280.

  • I have read the directions.

  • My name is accurately noted on the return envelope.

  • I have a black pen. Please use only ONE pen for marking your ENTIRE ballot.

​

MARKING YOUR BALLOT

  • Starting from the bottom and working my way up, I made sure to completely fill in the corresponding bubble for each Democratic candidate. I have NOT used Xs or checkmarks to fill in my bubbles.

  • I’ve double checked that I have marked my ballot for every office, and completed both sides of the ballot. (You may vote for all 19 candidates for state committee as there are 19 openings).

  • I have not made any other marks on my ballot.

 

CORRECTING MISTAKES ON YOUR BALLOT   

If you make a mistake and vote for multiple candidates or the wrong candidate, you cannot cross out the mistake or white it out.  Instead, you may obtain a new ballot by following the directions given by Montgomery County Voter Services.

 

RETURNING YOUR BALLOT

  • I’ve placed my ballot in the OFFICIAL ELECTION ENVELOPE (sometimes referred to as the 'secrecy envelope'). I did not make any marks on the OFFICIAL ELECTION ENVELOPE.
    (If you put your name, candidate, and/or party affiliation on it, your ballot won’t count.)

  • I’ve sealed the envelope with a moist paper towel for sanitary purposes.

  • I’ve placed the official election/secrecy envelope inside the return envelope.

  • I signed the declaration on the back of the return envelope, answered any other questions, and dated it with TODAY’s date (If you don’t sign and complete the declaration, your vote won’t count.)

  • If I had help completing my ballot, I made sure that person signs the witness declaration on the back of the return envelope.

  • I sealed the return envelope with a wet paper towel for sanitary purposes.

  • I returned my ballot to an official Montgomery County Election Board secure ballot drop box, Voter Services Center, or the County Board of Elections, One Montgomery Plaza, 425 Swede St, Suite 602, Norristown PA, or mailed it not later than October 25, 2022. (If mailing, first class postage is prepaid, so do not affix postage stamps.)
