No. I think I do my best as an observer. Think I’d be terrible in office myself. I’m snobbier than Vargo-Heffner, crazier than Zrinski and talk more than Heckman.

If we voted by mail last year in the primary and general, we will automatically receive our mail in ballot. Or do we need to apply again.

You have to re-apply.

I thought if you checked the appropriate box on mail-in application, you could automatically receive one each year? (but only if you checked that box)

Bernie O'Hare said...

No. You have to apply every year.

Please see Block #7 on PA application for mail-in ballot at www.votespa.com.

Clarification - you do need to send in your application each time, but you can receive that application automatically.

item #3 on your list is first and last date to circulate nominating petitions. Item #1 on your list is first day to circulate nominating petitions. They are two different dates. Why the two different dates? Just curious. Could you clarify?
