Tomorrow, 2 June 2020, is Primary Election Day. 
 
Several polling places have been moved for tomorrow’s election.  Please take a moment to check your polling place by clicking HERE.
 
Tomorrow’s election is the first election where voters can use mail-in ballots if they are so inclined.  If you have voted by absentee or mail-in ballot and wish to check the status of your ballot, you can do so by clicking HERE.  A few additional points on these ballots:
  • In order to be counted mail-in and absentee ballots must be received by 8:00 p.m. on 2 June 2020 by the County election office.  Lackawanna County’s office is located at 123 Wyoming Ave, Scranton, PA 18503.  If you still have your ballot, we suggest you drop off your ballot in person at the office to ensure your vote is counted.
  • If you didn't receive your ballot or if it is lost, damaged or destroyed, you can vote in person at your polling place on election day using a provisional ballot.  You can find more information on that process by clicking HERE.
