This is an official notice of a special election to be conducted on September 17, 2024, in Philadelphia County within the 195th & 201st Legislative Districts. You may register to vote and request an official absentee ballot by using the Federal Postcard Application (FPCA), available at vote.pa.gov or www.fvap.gov or download here: Download Fillable FPCA.

This application is acceptable for General, Primary, and Special elections for which you are eligible in that calendar year alone. We recommend you send in a new FPCA every January and each time you move.

You may apply for an absentee ballot by submitting your FPCA by fax to (215) 686-3398, or by email to phillyelection@phila.gov. You may request an absentee ballot from this office at any time prior to a primary or general election.

All voted Military and Civilian Overseas Absentee Ballots must be mailed back, along with the voter’s declaration, no later than 11:59 pm on the day before the election and must be received by the County Board of Elections no later than the Tuesday following the election.

If time does not permit you to receive and return an official absentee ballot and you have already applied for an absentee ballot, you are also entitled to vote using the Federal Write-in Absentee Ballot (FWAB). Military electors may also use the FWAB to register to vote and vote simultaneously.

You may use the FWAB to vote for ALL state and local offices, and ballot initiatives.

To vote for state and local offices or for ballot initiatives, write the names of candidates or ballot initiatives in the Addendum section of the FWAB. Under the Office/Ballot Initiative heading, enter the office the candidate is running for or the title of the Ballot Initiative (referendum). Under the Candidate Name, Party Affiliation, or Initiative Vote heading, list the name of the candidate you wish to vote for, or if you are voting on a Referendum question write “yes” or “no.”
