County Commissioner Leslie Osche says that issues with the U.S. Postal Service may be causing delays in people receiving their mail-in ballot.
“It appears as though there may have been some challenges with two particular dates where mail went out of [the county’s] office,” Osche said. “So the post office has confirmed that the mail came to the Butler Post Office and went to a Pittsburgh (post office) location. But most of the voters that are calling in; there are two dates that seem to be key that those folks did not receive their ballot by mail.”
Osche says if you haven’t gotten your mail-in ballot yet, there are a number of options for you to consider.
“The preferred method is to contact our office. Ask for another ballot; and you can do that by emailing [email protected]. They will prepare a new ballot for you that you can pick up in the lobby, and you can cast your ballot right there,” Osche said.
There’s also the option to visit your polling location on Election Day—or the county will deliver your ballot to you. However, the election deputies will not be able to return that ballot.
“No one else can turn in your ballot for you,” Osche said. “You can either put it in the mail or there is a ballot drop off station inside the lobby so you don’t have to wait in line.”
