- Seal the yellow secrecy envelope.
- Place the yellow secrecy envelope into the white return envelope.
- Seal the white return envelope.

- Make sure both your signature and the date you voted are written on the white return envelope envelope where indicated or your vote will not be counted.
For more information check out the The Mail-in and Absentee Ballot center which has an informational graphic about filling in and returning your ballot.
Designate an Agent for Third Party Ballot Delivery
If a voter is unable to personally apply for or deliver their mail ballot, they may designate an agent to help. The voter must designate someone in writing, and that agent must sign in agreement, using this official Pennsylvania form: Authorize a Designated Agent Form. The agent must present (or enclose) the completed form when handling the voter’s ballot materials.
