Before you start making calls, review the two sections below. Make sure you are familiar with the options you enter when you’re unable to reach the voter, and most importantly, practice the scripts and review the FAQs so you are ready to speak to voters and respond to their questions.

In CallHub, you will indicate which of these is true if you did not reach the voter:

What is the Annual Mail-In Voter List?

Pennsylvania’s Annual Mail-In Voter List is a way for voters to automatically get mail-in ballots for all of this year’s elections. Voters may also make a one-time request for a ballot to be mailed to them for any election.

Am I currently registered to vote? 

You can check by going to vote.pa.gov and clicking the “Register to Vote” tab at the top, then “Check Your Voter Registration” in the drop-down menu.

I already requested an absentee ballot; when should I receive it?

Thank you for taking that step! You should receive it sometime in April. If you’re uncertain about the status of your vote-by-mail ballot, you can call your local registrar’s office. You can find them by visiting vote.pa.gov and clicking “Find Your County Election Office.”

Can I return my ballot at a drop box or early voting site?

In all counties, you can drop off your ballot at your County Board of Election Office. Some counties also have additional drop boxes, drop-off sites, and/or satellite offices. You should inquire with your county election office to find out, and you can find them by visiting vote.pa.gov and clicking “Find Your County Election Office.”  Ballots must be received by 8:00 p.m. on Election Day if dropped off, and if mailed, they must arrive by election day, so you should mail it at least five days in advance to be safe.

Can I return my ballot on election day? 

You can return your ballot at your County Board of Election Office, and in some counties, at a drop box, drop-off site, and/or satellite office. You should inquire with your county election office to find out, and you can find them by visiting vote.pa.gov and clicking “Find Your County Election Office.”

At an in-person voting site, you cannot drop off your vote-by-mail ballot, but you have two options:

1. If you received a mail ballot but did not complete it, you may surrender your un-voted mail ballot, along with both envelopes, at your polling place and vote with a regular ballot.
2. If you believe that you are eligible to vote in person, you can vote by provisional ballot. Your provisional ballot will be reviewed by the county board of elections after Election Day. If you requested a mail ballot but did not receive it, or you do not have it to surrender at your polling place, you may vote by provisional ballot at your polling place. Remember that it is unlawful to fraudulently vote more than once in the same election.

If you did vote your mail ballot and returned it to your county board of elections, you are not eligible to vote at your polling place, as you’ve already cast your ballot.

Where can I find my local registrar’s office? 

You can find them by visiting vote.pa.gov and clicking  “Find Your County Election Office.”

Where can I find my polling place?

You can find your polling location by using the Department of State’s online lookup tool. You can find it by going to vote.pa.gov and clicking  “Voting in PA” in the top tab, then “Voting at a Polling Place” in the drop-down menu, and “Where’s my polling place?”

When are the elections?

Pennsylvania’s primary election will take place on and before May 17, 2022. The general election will be held on and before November 8, 2022.

Who’s on the ballot?

Various races will be on the ballot including US Senate, US House, Governor, and other offices.

Do I need a witness?

No there are no notary or witness requirements for a mail-in ballot.

Are you a partisan organization? 

I am volunteering with Activate America, an organization focused on holding and expanding the Democratic majorities in Congress.
