Gail Humphrey, the chief clerk for the county, said Wednesday that 63,608 mail-in ballot applications had come through and 19,725 voters have already returned their ballots.
Voters have until a week before election day to request a mail-in ballot.
“I want to urge everyone to get their mail-in ballots back to us,” she said.

Due to the pandemic and high-profile races, Bucks County had approximately 304,000 voters cast ballots by mail last November.
Humphrey on Wednesday highlighted that in-person voting is available for Tuesday, November 2 for those not casting their ballots by mail.
