Election Day is Nov. 3: what Westmoreland County voters need to know

The 2026 General Election is Tuesday, November 3, 2026. Polls in Westmoreland County are open 7:00 am to 8:00 pm, according to the county's Election Day page.

Find your polling place. The county has an address search and precinct list with sample ballots. Some precincts have moved; the precinct list highlights locations that are new since the last election.

Mail and absentee ballots. The deadline to apply passed at 5:00 pm on Tuesday, October 27, 2026. If you already have your ballot, it must be received by the County Board of Elections by 8:00 pm on November 3. Postmarks don't count. You can mail it or hand it in during business hours at the Election Bureau, 2 N Main Street, Suite 109, Greensburg. Only the voter can hand-deliver their own ballot, and you cannot turn in a completed mail ballot at your polling place (mail ballot deadlines, return procedures).

Before you send it, seal the ballot in the white inner secrecy envelope (don't write on it), seal that inside the outer return envelope, then sign and fill in today's date under your signature.

Changed your mind, or never got your ballot? Per the county:

• If you already returned your mail ballot, you can't vote at your polling place.
• If your ballot never arrived, you can go to the Bureau of Elections for a replacement (the original is voided), or vote a provisional ballot at your polling place.
• To vote on a machine instead, bring your entire ballot packet, ballot and all envelopes, to your polling place to be voided, and sign a declaration that you haven't already voted.
• If you don't surrender the packet, you can only vote a paper provisional ballot.
