“When you get onto that link, you can download a voter registration application," he said. "It still has to be printed out on paper and completed on paper and signed. And it must be postmarked not later than by this coming Monday.”
The Elections Office will accept voter registration forms in person from 8:30 a.m. until 5 p.m. on Monday at the County Office Building in downtown Pittsburgh.
