Time is running out for Pennsylvanians to request a mail ballot and submit it to vote in the Nov. 5 general election. 

As the Nov. 5 presidential election approaches, so do multiple deadlines for Pennsylvanians looking to submit a ballot through the mail.
The state allows any registered voter to cast a ballot by mail without providing a reason. The deadline to register is Oct. 21. 

The American Civil Liberties Union of Pennsylvania is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to decide whether requiring voters to date their mail ballot return envelopes violates federal law.

A coalition of voting rights advocates is trying again to get the Pennsylvania Supreme Court to conclusively decide whether voters need to date their mail ballot return envelope in order for their vote to be counted, likely the last chance to settle the question before the November election.

Pennsylvanians’ mail ballots must have a proper date on their envelopes or they will be rejected, under a decision Friday from the state Supreme Court that could affect thousands of voters this November.
