Philly is opening 17 early voting locations across the city. Here's where.

Early voting is coming to neighborhoods across Philadelphia.
City elections officials approved a plan Wednesday to open 15 new satellite elections offices where voters can request, receive, fill out, and submit a mail ballot in one stop. People can also visit the offices to register to vote, request a mail ballot to take home and submit later, or to drop off a completed mail ballot. One is in the Liacouras Center at Temple University, while the others are in public schools.

Those 15 temporary satellite offices are in addition to the two permanent elections offices, one in City Hall and one on Columbus Boulevard at Spring Garden Street.

The offices will be open seven days a week running through Election Day on Nov. 3. They will be open from 11:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays, and from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Fridays through Sundays.

Mail ballots must be requested by one week before Election Day, so in that final week, the offices can be used to drop off completed ballots, but not to apply for new ones.

3. These are technically satellite election offices,

not polls or polling places like in VA or GA or some of the other states.

I believe Allegheny county is also opening satellite election offices.

These are also the result of the recent state supreme court ruling allowing counties to have drop box locations, but they must be secure thus the satellite election offices staffed by election bureau employees who can verify the voter so no duplicate ballots occur.
