(OPEN):
PENNSYLVANIA'S PRIMARY-ELECTION IS NOW SCHEDULED FOR JUNE 2ND. BUT, THE DEADLINE TO APPLY FOR A MAIL-IN BALLOT IS LESS THAN A WEEK AWAY: THIS TUESDAY, MAY 26TH.
THAT'S WHY BILL JOHNSTON-WALSH, OF "A-A-R-P
PENNSYLVANIA", REMINDS ALL VOTERS TO BE PREPARED...
(JOHNSTON-WALSH):
"WE FOUGHT TO DELAY THE
PRIMARY--SO THAT VOTERS CAN CAST BALLOTS MORE SAFELY, DURING THIS PANDEMIC.
THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT VOTING BY MAIL IS EASY AND SECURE: THE SIMPLEST WAY TO APPLY FOR A MAIL-IN BALLOT IS ONLINE.
YOU CAN ALSO PRINT AN APPLICATION, AND MAIL IT TO YOUR LOCAL
ELECTION-OFFICE--OR EVEN PICK ONE UP, IN PERSON. IN ALL CASES, THE DEADLINE IS TUESDAY, MAY 26TH.
FOR THOSE WHO STILL PLAN TO VOTE IN PERSON, PLEASE NOTE THAT MANY COUNTIES MIGHT TEMPORARILY CONSOLIDATE
POLLING-PLACES--WHICH MEANS THAT, THIS TIME, YOU COULD BE VOTING AT A DIFFERENT LOCATION.
AND, STATE-OFFICIALS ARE MAKING SURE THAT ALL COUNTIES HAVE INFECTION-PROTECTION
KITS--SO THAT POLL-WORKERS CAN MAINTAIN A SAFE ENVIRONMENT."
(CLOSE):
FOR MORE INFORMATION, JOHNSTON-WALSH URGES PENNSYLVANIANS TO CALL THE
DEPARTMENT OF STATE'S VOTING-HOTLINE, AT 1-877-"VOTES-P-A"--OR TO VISIT
"VOTES-P-A"-DOT-COM.
