Mail-in ballots are on the way to Allegheny County voters

Allegheny County voters who requested mail-in ballots should start receiving them this week, county officials said Monday.

Voters will also be able to cast ballots through the over-the-counter voting option at several locations.

Voters who requested mail-in ballots will be able to drop them off at ballot return sites from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 31, and Monday, Nov. 3; and from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, Nov. 1 and 2, at the following locations:

• Dormont Pool
• Community College of Allegheny County — Homewood
• Greater Pittsburgh Food Bank
• Avalon Public Library

Voters can also drop off mail-in ballots at the County Office Building on Election Day until 8 p.m.

Satellite voting spots, or over-the-counter voting sites — where voters can request a ballot, fill it in on the spot and return it to county elections division staff on site — will be available from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 25 and 26, at the following locations:

• Community College of Allegheny County — Homewood
