Ross voters can cast their ballots at the public works building on Cemetery Lane. West View voters can vote at the West View Banquet Hall on Perry Highway.

Officials are expecting some delay in the counting of votes due to the "unprecedented" number of mail-in ballots, Pennsylvania Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar said. This could cause a delay in results, particularly for close races.

All ballots must be received by 8 p.m. on June 2. Postmarks do not count. State officials did not
recommend a specific date for when ballots should be postmarked, but simply said that ballots should be mailed back "as soon as possible."

The deadline to apply for a mail in ballot was May 26.

More than 1.6 million -in ballots had already been received in Pennsylvania by this past weekend, according to a CBS report.

Contested races at the state level include the Democratic nominee for auditor general, which has five candidates: Pittsburgh Controller Michael Lamb, H. Scott Conklin of Centre County, Tracie Fountain of Dauphin County, Nina Ahmad of Philadelphia County and Christina Hartman of Lancaster County.
