How To Track Your Pennsylvania Mail-In Ballot

PENNSYLVANIA — Did you vote by mail in Pennsylvania?

State officials are bracing for record numbers of mail-in ballots. If you'd like to track the progress of your own mail-in ballot, there's a way you can do that.

To find your election ballot status, simply visit this section of the PA Voter Services website. From there, you will input your first and last name, as well as your birthdate and county. If you have not yet mailed your ballot or if your ballot has not yet arrived, you will see the status as "pending."

Once your county has received your ballot, the date it was received and the status of your ballot will be updated.

Pennsylvania as one of several key swing states in the Rust Belt that could determine the course of the presidential election.

On Tuesday, Gov. Tom Wolf issued a statement urging residents to hand-deliver their ballots if they had not yet put them in the mail.

"If you haven't already, voters with mail ballots should immediately hand-deliver your ballot to your county-designated location," Wolf said in a statement Tuesday. "Don't wait until Election Day. Hand-delivering your own ballot now will give you the peace of mind that your vote will be counted, and your voice will be heard in this historic election."

Some 3.02 million voters have requested mail-in ballots in Pennsylvania, according to the Department of State. About 57.48 percent of them had been returned as of Tuesday morning, meaning that more than a million ballots are still in the mail or have not yet been mailed.
