Northampton County sends out annual mail-in ballot reminders

Northampton County has sent out 60,000 postcards to remind voters about their options when it comes to voting by mail. People who haven’t voted by mail before will need to sign up. And those who want to continue voting by mail will need to renew.
Northampton County Executive Lamont McClure says even if a county resident opted to be a permanent mail-in voter, they still need to fill out a renewal form each year.
“State law requires us every year to send you a postcard to see if you want to stay on that permanent list. Once you’re on the list for the primary and general election of that year, you’ll get your mail-in ballot mailed to you,” he says.
McClure says people new to mail-in voting can request an application from the county election office or fill one out at VotesPA.com.
The deadline to apply for a mail-in ballot is May 11 for the Pennsylvania primary election which will be held May 18.
