Election workers process applications for mail-in-ballots in 2023 at the Westmoreland County Election Bureau.

Westmoreland County officials approved final preparations for the May 20 primary election.

County commissioners, acting as the elections board, on Monday earmarked two short-term parking spaces along Pennsylvania Avenue in Greensburg for voters who wish to drop off mail-in ballots at the elections bureau. The parking spots are near the rear entrance to the courthouse.

No drop boxes for mail-in ballots were approved for this spring’s election.

As of Monday, nearly 25,000 voters requested no-excuse mail-in ballots for the primary. Election Bureau Director Scott Ross said more than 16,600 Democratic voters and 8,200 Republicans have requested mail-in ballots. More than 55,000 Westmoreland County voters cast mail-in ballots for November’s general election.

The deadline to apply for a mail-in ballot is May 13.
