The Erie County Board of Elections has released a list of Voters  https://eriecountypa.gov/departments/elections-voting/  that are able to correct their ballot return envelopes between now and Election Day.

Voters can “go in-person” to the Voter Registration and Elections Office (Erie County Courthouse-140 West 6th St. Rm 112) during regular business hours of 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM and from 7 AM to 8 PM on Election Day, Tuesday, May 16, 2023.

Voters unable to travel to the office due to a disability may authorize a Designated Agent to pick up a replacement ballot and/or return a completed ballot using the Designated Agent Form.

The form can be found here: https://www.vote.pa.gov/Resources/Documents/Authorize-Designated-Agent-for-Mail-in-or-Absentee-Ballot.pdf and must be completed before the ballot is picked up.

Voters may also choose to cast a provisional ballot at their poll if they are unable to come to the office. In the alternative, Voters who choose to vote provisionally will go to their regular polling place. They will be given a provisional ballot to cast which is then returned to the poll workers, rather than being scanned at the polling place. Provisional ballots are researched and processed during the Return Board process which begins at 9 AM on Friday, May 19th 2023.
