Via the Post-Gazette:

Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett has extended the deadline for county election offices to receive absentee ballots to Monday, but only in those counties were election offices shut down because of Hurricane Sandy and its remnants.

The extension, which allows ballots to be delivered up until 5 p.m. the night before the general election, also applies to any county whose election office cut its hours because of the storm.

In Allegheny County, the deadline for absentee ballots was extended to Tuesday at 8 p.m. by a court decision earlier this week.

Absentee ballots may be mailed or delivered in person.

Even better news for New Yorkers!

In an emergency meeting late Wednesday, the board voted to ease the original Oct. 30 deadline statewide for faxed or mailed applications, according to a news release. Voters may apply for an absentee ballot in person at local boards of elections through Nov. 5. The board also extended the deadline to submit the ballots in person by six days, from Nov. 13 to Nov. 19. Ballots returned by mail still must be postmarked by Monday, Nov. 5, but have until Nov. 19 to reach the local board.
