With early voting underway in Pennsylvania, counties are opening additional election offices
HARRISBURG — Voting has begun in earnest in Pennsylvania, as counties increasingly begin mailing out ballots, offering over-the-counter voting in election offices, and opening other avenues to voting.
In Philadelphia, voters have returned about 15,000 mail-in ballots, said Seth Bluestein, who sits on the city’s three-member election commission. That’s about 10% of the 150,000 ballots that were already mailed, Bluestein said.
Meanwhile, the city has opened seven of 10 planned satellite election offices to operate seven days a week.
Allegheny County, home to Pittsburgh, began hosting over-the-counter voting in the lobby of the county office building on Monday and said people who applied for mail-in ballots have started receiving them in the mail this week.
