Hi,

I just found out about this program and signed up to do what I can in this swing state of Pennsylvania.

Any information I know is below.

Ballots for Patients is a non-partisan initiative affiliated with Election Protection to help patients in the Greater Pittsburgh area complete medical or emergency absentee ballots for major elections to ensure they are able to use their right to vote despite their circumstance of receiving hospital care or living in a nursing facility.

See the Google Form in this mail for the details, volunteers are needed to Courier between the UPMC hospitals listed and the County Elections Office downtown on Friday November 1, Monday November 4, and Tuesday November 5 (Election Day).

Part of the legal process will require that the same courier who drops off the application to the elections office NEEDS to be one who picks up the ballot, takes it to the hospital to be completed, and then takes the completed ballot back to the elections office. So you would need to volunteer for Fri & Mon, Mon & Tues, just Tues, or all 3 days.

If you are interested in participating in this year's version of events, please read through the instructions and fill out the survey here: https://forms.gle/v3uzJmgdLyPZ8pjk7

If you are unable to help out, that's absolutely fine. Just be sure to go out and VOTE!
