Important Information Regarding Mail-In Ballot Voting in Lebanon County
Background: ACT 77 of 2019 provides voters in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania the ability to vote by mail-in ballot. Voters are NOT required to vote by mail-in ballot but are provided the option to vote by mail under ACT 77.
Regardless of your opinion to mail-in voting, the Lebanon County Republican Committee has received numerous inquiries and questions with respect to ACT 77 and we feel it is our duty to educate the Republicans of Lebanon County of their Voting Rights.
Please review the guidelines below for educational information on your Voting Rights for November.
