Radnor holds bi-annual elections - a Primary Election every spring and a General Election every fall. ALL registered voters can vote in the General Election. However, Pennsylvania has a “closed” primary system. This means that in Primary Elections, Republican voters can vote only for Republican candidates and Democratic voters can vote only for Democratic candidates. The candidates who receive the highest number of votes go on to run in the General Election. However, all registered voters can vote in the Primary Election on ballot questions and constitutional amendment questions, and in Special Elections.

Absentee voting: This applies to you specifically if you plan to be out of the municipality where you are registered to vote on election day — or if you have a disability or illness that prevents you from getting to the polls. You’ll need to list a reason for requesting an absentee ballot.
Mail-in ballot: If you’re not an absentee voter, you can vote by mail. You don’t need a reason to request this ballot. You can get one simply because you want to mail in your vote to ensure you don’t need to go to the polls on voting day.
If you have a valid PA driver’s license or photo ID you can apply for your mail-in ballot online. You’ll be asked three questions: are you military or overseas, will you be absent from your home on Election day, and do you have an illness/disability. This is to determine whether a mail-in or absentee ballot is right for you. If you answer “yes” to any questions, you should apply for an absentee ballot. If you answer “no” to all, you will be able to apply for a mail-in ballot.

Yes, you can still vote but you will need to cast a “Provisional Ballot.” All you need to do it go to your precinct’s voting location and tell the Judge of Elections about your situation. You will be allowed to cast a “provisional ballot.” It will be counted after the County affirms that your mail-in ballot was never submitted.

If you are in possession of your mail-in ballot but have decided you want to vote in person, go to your precinct’s voting location and bring your entire mail-in ballot – envelopes and all – with you. Tell the poll workers you wish to spoil your mail ballot. You will then surrender your mail-in ballot and its two envelopes to the Judge of Elections. You can then cast a regular vote at the polls.
