Mail/Absentee Ballot Return Tracking
Delaware County Elections is committed to providing full transparency by providing frequent updates on mail-in and absentee ballot activity.
This web page will display the total number of mail/absentee ballots sent to Delaware County voters, as well as frequently updated totals of mail/absentee ballots returned to the Delaware County Bureau of Elections by U.S. mail or returned by voters to the Government Center Building drop box in Media or to any of the 36 community drop boxes located throughout the County.
By offering this frequently updated information, we aim to eliminate uncertainty and ensure that Delaware County voters have the clearest possible understanding of ballot return data through Election Day (and until the Nov. 12, 2024 deadline for the County to receive voted military and overseas absentee ballots (those submitted for delivery no later than 11:59 P.M. on November 4, 2024)).
