Mail-in ballots becoming more popular in the Lehigh Valley

BETHLEHEM, Pa. — In 2021, with some still leery about heading to the polls due to the COVID-19 virus, more than 33,578 Lehigh Valley residents cast their vote with a mail-in ballot.

That was about a third of all people who participated in the low-turnout primary.

Life has returned to something approaching normalcy in the four years since, but more locals are poised to elect their party's nominees by a mail-in ballot onTuesday.

Lehigh County officials reported they have sent out 23,499 ballots to voters ahead of Tuesday's election. Officials in Northampton County have mailed out another 24,635 of their own, officials said.

They're easy to fill out, free postage, and sure beats standing in lines in bad weather. We'll use them as long as we can.
