Pennsylvanians can vote by mail or vote in person at a polling place on Election Day.
The state doesn’t have early in-person voting, but there is a work around. 

WITF’s Jordan Wilkie recorded himself requesting and returning a by-mail ballot, all in person and same day, at his county elections office.
