The Pennsylvania Department of State on Monday announced that “counties will soon start sending out mail ballots to eligible voters who requested them for the April 23 primary election.”
In Dauphin County, ballots are currently at the printer and there’s a “high degree of probability” that could be mailed in the middle of next week, according to county Press Secretary Diane McNaughton.
This means, at least in Dauphin County, voters could see mail ballots arriving by the end of next week or early the week after.
