This is a message from Allegheny Alerts. The Elections Division today reminded voters of arrangements in place and tools available to them in advance of the Primary Election Day, May 17, 2022. In order for mail-in and absentee ballots to be counted, the Elections Division must receive them by 8 PM on Election Day, May 17. Voters will be able to go to the Ross Street entrance of the building located at 542 Forbes Avenue and return their ballot to Elections staff located directly inside of those doors. As has been done in the past, the right lane of Ross Street, closest to the County Office Building, will be sectioned off to allow motorists to easily pull over near the entrance and return their completed ballot. Hours are 8 AM to 5 PM on Saturday, 11 AM to 7 PM on Sunday, 8:30 AM to 8 PM on Monday and 7 AM to 8 PM on Tuesday. All 1,323 polling places will be open on Election Day. Hours are from 7 AM to 8 PM and anyone in line at 8 PM will be allowed to vote. Please note that only voters registered as Democrats or Republicans will be voting in this election as they select nominees in the primary to represent their party in the November general election. There are no local ballot questions being considered for the May 17 primary. A total of 33 polling places changed since the general election. Voters in those precincts have been sent a mailing to advise them of where they will be voting on Election Day. Additionally, notices will be posted on the old locations to redirect voters accordingly. The Elections Division encourages voters to verify their registration and polling place prior to going to vote. Voters can also view a sample ballot in advance of going to the polls by using the county’s sample ballot application. Links to all of those resources are available at https://alleghenyvotes.com under Quick Links. Preliminary results from mail-in and absentee ballots are expected to be reported out shortly after polls close and will continue to be updated throughout the evening. Typically, election results from polling places begin reporting by 9 PM. All results will be available on the county’s website at https://alleghenycounty.us/elections/election-results.aspx.
