Bucks County has mailed all 166,000 mail-in and absentee ballots requested as of Friday afternoon. When more come in, the county will be sending them out now that the backlog has been conquered.
The massive amount of mail has gone out over the past 10 days and voters who have not yet received their ballots should get it in the coming days, county spokesperson Larry King told LevittownNow.com.

Bucks County Chief Clerk Gail Humphrey said earlier this month that the ballot vendor Kutco can mail 18,000 ballots per day.
Due to a legal challenge, the counties in the state were delayed in sending ballots out start around the mid-September date when they could have started mailing them.
Mail-in and absentee ballot requests have to be received no later than Tuesday, October 27. Completed ballots must be postmarked by Tuesday, November 3 and received by Friday, November 6 in order to be counted.

King said ballots are coming in via mail are being collected and securely stored. Those with noticeable problems are being flagged and elections staff are reaching out to the voters.
The county’s three ballot drop-off boxes – the administration building in Doylestown Borough, the Lower Bucks Government Services Center in Bristol Township, and Upper Bucks Government Services Center in Richland Township – for those who wish to drop off their mail-in ballots in-person have been busy recently.

LevittownNow.com readers have reported short waits at the boxes in Bristol Township and Doylestown Borough.
King said there have also been short lines for on-demand voting at the offices. He said voters can schedule on-demand voting.
“That can speed things up a little bit,” he said.
