Pennsylvania HB1298 amends absentee and mail-in ballot application deadlines for primary and election days.

HB1298 amends the Pennsylvania Election Code to allow applications for absentee ballots to be received up to 50 days before a primary or election, with flexibility for county boards of elections to process earlier if needed. It also allows applications for mail-in ballots to be received up to 50 days before a primary or election, with similar flexibility. The bill specifies that certain qualified electors, such as those with disabilities, illnesses, or unforeseeable absences due to work, can apply for an absentee ballot up until the closing of polls on election day.
