All ballots issued and returned through these events will be handled in the same manner as standard absentee and mail-in ballots and will not be opened or counted until Election Day, consistent with Pennsylvania law, officials said. 

Events at each location will be staffed by the County’s trained Elections Division personnel. All ballot handling will follow existing chain-of-custody procedures, according to the news release.
