(173,595 posts)These locations supplement the 2 regular election offices in the city.
Got my mail-in ballot last week, filled it out, and took it over to one of the locations near me this afternoon. These satellite offices also allow people to register to vote, request and get approval for an absentee (regular or "no excuse" ) ballot, and complete/turn in that absentee ballot on the spot. There was a line (socially-distanced) for people doing just that too!
These are not considered "polling places" as there is no "in-person early voting" here in PA. They just process applications for and drop-offs of mail-in (absentee) ballots and register people to vote.

There was also someone from the Biden/Harris campaign there who set up shop outside of the location and he had a table full of campaign stuff - those small cardboard signs, buttons, vinyl stickers, and lawn signs (plus a few other things I couldn't catch). Copped a few - and they were FREE. I was to "promise" to "text 3 friends to remind them to vote" as "payment".
