The Elections Office reminds voters to carefully follow the instructions included with their ballot. Only use blue or black ink and the voter must sign and date the back of the return envelope before sending it in. “Naked” ballots—those which have not been enclosed in the inner secrecy envelope—will not be counted. Mail-in ballots may also be declared void if the ballot or secrecy envelope includes any text, marks or symbols “which reveals the identity of the elector, the elector’s political affiliation or the elector’s candidate preference.”
The return envelopes for mail-in ballots include postage. Voters do not need to add a stamp. Ballots may also be dropped off at the Elections Office at 669 Washington Street Easton, PA 18042 or deposited in one of the County’s four secure ballot drop-off boxes.

Voters have until October 27 to apply for a mail-in or absentee ballot. Voters who have applied for a mail-in ballot, but have decided they would prefer to vote at the polls, must bring both their ballot and the return envelope with them. The Judge of Elections will spoil the ballot and allow them to cast their vote on the machine.
Voters who applied for a mail-in ballot, but do not have the ballot and the return envelope, will only be allowed to cast a provisional ballot at the polls.
Voters may send an application for a mail-in ballot to the Election’s Office (https://www.northamptoncounty.org/CTYADMN/ELECTNS/Documents/Mail%20In%20Ballot%20Application.pdf) or apply on-line at: https://www.votespa.com
Blogger's Note: As of October 24, 57,415,468 MIBs have been returned to elections officials nationwide. This is 41.7% of the total votes cast in 2016. There are 86 MIBs requested.

I threw my ballots in the trash, i will vote in person! NORCO WILL GO TO TRUMP, Deplorable BIDEN doesn't stand a chance!
5:38, looks like you’ll be voting provisionally, moron. If you threw your ballots away, you won’t be allowed to vote on the machine. You’re a real rocket scientist.
I see another voter is going dumpster diving looking for Trump. LOL
The darned Republicans who are running the sh**show in Harrisburg are now planning to return to the SCOTUS to stop us from counting ballots that are postmarked by Election Day, received within 3 days. Gosh, I wonder why that is - could it possibly be because we have known for months that Dems would far outnumber Repubs in mail-in ballots? What happened to every vote should count? Trump's appointee DeJoyless has achieved his goal - the US Mail is all fu**ed up. A letter was mailed to me from the state next door over a week ago and who knows where the heck it is. I don't. Republicans love to raise the specter of "cheating," but who is it that is always doing something that smacks of cheating?
@5:38PM LOL - why would you ask for a ballot, and then throw it away? I received my ballot 2 weeks ago, filled it out and sent it back the day I received it. Tracking is updated on a state website. You're listening to conspiracy theories, I am sitting pretty. Go ahead and attend a public event and risk getting CV - I wasn't interested. "Deplorable Biden" is projecting all that is deplorable about Trump... chronic liar, immoral, impeached for using his office to leverage a foreign country for his gain, can't pass a law and has no idea how to, corrupted the DOJ for his personal benefit. We have no clue yet exactly how corrupt he is, until we see his tax returns. Deplorable *who*?
At a guess, I'm thinking 5:38 is talking about throwing out one of those "Center for Voters" ballots or whatever they call themselves mailers.
