berks weighing in. it was perfect.

the only thing i would change is a more obvious way to check your application status prior to receiving the ballot. i didnt take screen shots or write down the process, but by memory, it was a little unobvious that my mother, in fact, elected to receive her mail in ballot back in feb.

like, all i remember is that finding this page

https://www.pavoterservices.pa.gov/pages/voterregistrationstatus.aspx

was easy. but it should include a link to THIS page:

https://www.pavoterservices.pa.gov/pages/ballottracking.aspx

which i tracked down, but my mother, or anyone not born in the internet age, would likely not find.

and then when i got to the latter page, whatever "status" that was showing for her wasnt defined well enough for us to be confident that she would be receiving a mail in ballot. it turns out that she didnt apply, so she applied, and still currently shows as "pending"... which after calling means it should be on the way, but might not be here in time, which means she will have to drop it off in person... which sucks because she is post transplant and tries to avoid crowds.
