Absentee Ballot Information

You may vote by mail if you are a registered voter and will be absent from your municipality on Election Day because of military service, illness, physical disability, business duties, occupation, or vacation.

You can apply for an absentee ballot no sooner than 50 days before the election and no later than 5:00 PM on the Tuesday preceding the election, except in cases of emergency (consult Board of Elections)

There are four steps to absentee voting:

1. Request an official application form in person, by mail, phone, or online from: County Board of Elections, Union County Government Center, 155 North 15th St, Lewisburg, PA 17837; 570-524-3891 or 570-524-8682; www.unionco.org, select "Government Offices", click on "Voter Registration and Elections", then choose "Absentee Ballot Information" from the panel on the right.
2. Return the completed application form.
3. When you receive your ballot, vote.
4. Return the ballot by 5:00 PM of the Friday before the election. If an emergency arises after Tuesday and before the 5:00 PM deadline of the Friday in the week preceding the election, an emergency application may be obtained from the County Board of Elections either in person, by mail, or by an adult acting on behalf of the applicant.
