Some out-of-state voters were mailed a ballot overnight to replace the ballot they did not receive.
If you requested a mail ballot but have not received or returned it, you may vote a provisional ballot at your assigned polling place on Election Day. Polling places are open from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. (any voter in line at 8:00 p.m. can vote no matter how long the line is). Provisional ballots are reviewed after Election Day, and eligible votes will be counted if the voter’s mail ballot wasn’t received.
Today, Monday, November 4, 2024, is the last day for voters to receive a replacement ballot.
Voters who have not received their mail-in ballot can go to the Elections and Voter Registration Office at 140 W Sixth Street, Room 112, to receive a new ballot until 6:00 p.m.
Voters who were sent a mail-in ballot but did not receive the ballot may vote on Election Day by appearing at their polling location and voting a provisional ballot.
Erie County set up a phone line specifically for voters with disabilities or illnesses who cannot come to the office. The number is 814-451-6011.
