I don’t really understand… didn’t she write her return address on the envelope and sign the envelope which would identify it as hers? Mine didn’t come with my return address already on it, it came with 3 blank lines for me to fill it in myself, plus I was required to sign and date the outer envelope in place of signing the voter rolls book that you normally sign upon entering a polling place on Election Day.

Mine wasn’t blank, it had my full name and address in the return address spot and had a barcode underneath to identify the ballot as mine. I just got an email today saying that my ballot was received but my wife, who mailed it in several days before me, hasn’t received any confirmation of them receiving it. Also the PA ballot tracking site says that they haven’t received it.

My wife called the county office and they said that the barcode under the return address should have, and needed to, be there to associate the ballot with her.

From PA Dept of State site about the process of mail in voting, “The outer envelope includes both a unique correspondence ID barcode that links the envelope to the qualified voter’s application and a pre-printed Voter’s Declaration that the voter must sign representing that the voter is qualified to vote the enclosed ballot and has not already voted.“

So if it wasn’t there, contact you county office

My county office already contacted me and told me my ballot had been received… because I wrote my return address on it and signed it.

Interesting okay, well we’ll give it a few more days then. We’re waiting on a call back from the county office as well.

Can also do vote on Demand at Board of Elections office in your county. It is essentially voting by mail, in person, early.
