Yeah, but you don't get an "I Voted" sticker!

Alternatively, if you mail in your ballot or drop it off at a drop box but you see from checking here https://www.pavoterservices.pa.gov/p...ttracking.aspx that it has not been counted you can vote by a provisional ballot at your precinct. Provisional ballots will only be counted once it's been verified that your original mail in/absentee ballot was not counted.

This was very helpful. Like thedirtypirate, I too kind of regret requesting a mail-in ballot, mostly because I’m actually comfortable voting in-person, and I also want to know that my vote will be counted by Election Day. However, I too plan to mail it in the same day I receive it — the ballot should arrive to me no later than October 15, so I see no reason it wouldn’t be counted by Election Day.
