Drop boxes for mail ballots are available for residents at five select municipal buildings in Lehigh County:

All locations will have drop boxes inside the building and will be available for use during normal municipal business hours. Ballots can be dropped off at these locations instead of by mail or by handing them to a Voter Registration Office employee. The drop box available at the Lehigh County Government Center will be available 24/7 and the only box open until 8pm on Election Day.  

YOU MAY ONLY DROP OFF YOUR BALLOT. 

Certificate of Designated Agent forms can be found at www.vote.pa.gov  This will allow you to drop off someone else’s ballot if they are physically unable to do so.  Each drop box location will be monitored via electronic surveillance. 

All ballots must be enclosed in the yellow Secrecy envelope before being sealed in the mailing envelope. Yellow Secrecy envelopes cannot have any identifying marks.  Mailing envelope must be SIGNED & DATED.  Any ballots that fail to do this may not be counted.

Mail-In Ballot Application

Absentee Ballot Application

Who May Vote by Civilian Absentee Ballot? 

• Absentee ballots are for voters, who are not military or overseas voters, who have a reason for absence, including voters who will not be in their municipality on Election Day due to work or vacation, voters who are celebrating a religious holiday, voters with disabilities, and voters such as college students who also may be away from the municipality on Election Day, if they don’t choose to vote where they go to school. Absentee ballots are also for those who are unable to attend their polling place due to illness or physical disability.

Who May Vote by Mail-In Ballot?

• If a voter does not qualify as an absentee voter, they are eligible for a mail-in ballot. An excuse is not required for a mail-in ballot. For example, if the voter won't be absent from a municipality on Election Day and would prefer to vote from home, they may request a mail-in ballot.
