From NorCo's Elections Office: The Northampton County Elections Office announces that Ballot-on-Demand voting for the Tuesday, April 23rd General Primary Election will be available starting Tuesday, April 2, 2024, at the Government Center (669 Washington Street, Easton, PA 18042).
Registered voters in Northampton County can vote in person on the following dates:
- Tuesday, April 2nd – Friday, April 5th (8:30 am – 8:00 pm)
- Saturday, April 6th (from 9:00 am – 12:00 pm)
- Monday, April 8th – Friday, April 12th (8:30 am - 8:00 pm)
- Saturday, April 13th (from 9:00 am – 12:00 pm)
- Monday, April 15th (8:30 am - 8:00 pm)
- The LAST day for Ballot-on-Demand will be Tuesday, April 16th (8:30 am - 5:00 pm)
During this time, Northampton County residents who are eligible to vote can come to the Elections Office, register if they still need to (deadline to register is 5:00 pm on Monday, April 8, 2024), fill out a ballot application which will be processed immediately and will be handed a ballot over the counter. Voters may fill out the ballot in the office and return it the same day OR they may take it home and mail it back via USPS or utilize one of the secure drop-off boxes throughout County.
You must bring a valid ID with you to the Elections Office to receive a ballot. The County’s seven secure ballot drop-off boxes will be installed later this week.
Registered voters who have already applied for a mail-in ballot ARE NOT ELIGIBLE for Ballot-on-Demand and must wait to receive their ballot in the mail.
To ensure that your mail-in ballot is accepted:
- Your ballot MUST BE enclosed in the YELLOW secrecy envelope and sealed
- Do NOT write anywhere on the YELLOW envelope. There can be NO identifying marks or symbols
- The return envelope (PURPLE) must be signed and dated on the back in the appropriate YELLOW boxes
- The ballot is returned to the Election’s Office NO LATER THAN 8:00 pm on Election night, Tuesday, April 23rd. USPS postmarks do NOT count if received after this deadline

I was told for years this practice marginalizes people of color and supresses the vote. Why is Northampton county being racist? I am sure Susan Wild is on this and Mr. Mcclure is aware. I can't believe such a racist thing would happen. Washington Post proof below its racist

I heard that Mark Pinsley is running for US Senate. The headlines say PA AG. But you know he's planning for the next campaign already.
I didnt receive my mail in ballot. Is this normal.
The ballots are going out soon. You will get an email when it does.
Awesome! I'll be the first in line to vote at all 5 places!
Why show ID to vote? Isn't that disenfranchisement? Is this legal? Seems like a double standard vs those who vote in person and are not required to produce ID. What gives?
If it’s an inconvenience to show your id then fill out a mail in ballot form…it asks for your drivers license number, so you can complain if you want. Better yet, just go to the polling place and physically show up that will end your trauma.
