If approved, a voter may complete his/her Alternative Ballot at the Bureau of Elections, 201 W. Front Street, Ground Floor, Media, PA at any time before the close of the polls on Election Day. However, the Bureau of Elections must receive the completed Alternative Ballot (either through the U.S. mail or by hand-delivery to the offices of the county Bureau of Elections) no later than 8:00 P.M. on Election Day.
