I think they shut them down during winter months.

Reply to Some mail in ballots are postage-paid, but others aren't? by GrowingToBread

The Wolf administration had used federal pandemic aid money to front the cost of mail ballot postage for the 2020 election, but that money ran out a while ago.

It SHOULD be free for everyone and everyone SHOULD have the ability to vote by mail.

Elections are run by the 67 County boards of elections in Pennsylvania.

It is the county election board that decides whether the ballot requires postage or not.

When it comes down to it, it's a matter of whether the county has the budget and the election board wants to make voting easier.
