Has pa sent out mail in ballots

You're referring to the Pennsylvania primary election!

According to the Pennsylvania Department of State, the commonwealth has not traditionally used mail-in ballots for its primary elections. Instead, voters have typically cast their ballots in person on Election Day or by absentee ballot.

However, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Pennsylvania did allow counties to offer mail-in and absentee voting options for the 2020 primary election. This was done through a temporary waiver granted by the Pennsylvania Department of State.

For the 2022 primary election, Pennsylvania has not announced any plans to send out mail-in ballots to all registered voters. Instead, voters who want to cast their ballots by mail will need to request an absentee ballot application from their county election office.

Here are the steps to request an absentee ballot application in Pennsylvania:

1. Contact your county election office to request an application. You can find the contact information for your county election office on the Pennsylvania Department of State's website.
2. Fill out the application and return it to your county election office by the deadline, which is typically 7 days before the election.
3. Once your application is approved, you will receive an absentee ballot, which you can complete and return by mail or in person.

It's worth noting that Pennsylvania is considering implementing a permanent absentee voting system, which would allow voters to request absentee ballots for all elections without needing to provide a reason. However, this proposal is still being debated and has not yet been implemented.
