3) In section 3, select “Change of Address”.
4) In section 4, enter your birthdate and sex. “Phone” and “Email address” are optional but are
very useful if we or the election office need to get in touch with you to cure your ballot.

must be in Carbon County, PA to be eligible to vote here.)
6) In section 6, enter your mailing address, if it differs from your street address. For example, if
there is no USPS delivery to your street address and you use a post office box, enter it here.

8) In this section you pick the party in which you want to register. We hope you’ll remain a
Democrat. We’re trying to Save the World!
9) In this section you can specify that you need assistance if you’re physically challenged or don’t

14) In this selection you can request that you continue to receive a mail-in ballot if you have
previously requested them.
15) If you want to receive a mail-in ballot you can request it in section 15. That makes it easy to vote
if you have trouble traveling or want to avoid inclement weather. Or if you want to avoid lines
on election day. Or because it upsets Republicans.
16) Check that you’re not a robot and press continue.
