Lehigh County's Elections Office Will Have Extended Hours

Lehigh County's Government Center and its Voter Registration Office will have extended hours for a two-week period between October 19th and October 30th. The building will also be open on Saturday, October 24th and Saturday, October 31st from
9am-1pm for drop-off.

A complete list of hours are as follows:
Monday – Friday 10/19 – 10/30 8am – 8pm
Saturday 10/24 & 10/31 9am – 1pm
Tuesday 11/3 7am – 8pm

Reserved parking will be available in front of the Government Center on 17 S 7th St, Allentown during these times. Two spots will be accessible on 7th Street and two spots will be available on Hamilton Street.

Lehigh County warns that a voter can only hand in his or her own ballot to the Voter Registration Office. Any bulk submissions or a ballot that is not your own will not be accepted.

Mail-in ballots are scheduled to be sent out the last week of September or the first week of October.

Lehigh County is still awaiting confirmation on the approved state ballot that will go into print. This is due to the pending status of the Green Party presidential candidate.

Additionally, ACT 77 allows for registered voters to vote at the Voter Registration Office at any time after mail-in ballots have been distributed. If a resident applied for a mail-in ballot but has not received their ballot in the mail, they may instead vote in-person at the Voter Registration Office. The deadline to apply to vote at the office is Tuesday, October 27th at 5pm.

No word yet on extended hours for NorCo voters.
