PITTSBURGH (Newsradio 1020 KDKA) - Tomorrow is the Primary Election, and Allegheny County Executive Rich Fitzgerald says people are utilizing mail-in ballots in record numbers.

"It looks like close to half the people will vote by mail. However, you've gotta have your mail-in ballot in to the election office by tomorrow at 8 o'clock. So, If you still have it at home, I wouldn't mail it now - it's probably a little too late. You need to take it down to the county office building," Fitzgerald said during the KDKA Radio Morning Show Monday.

Fitzgerald says the county has a drop box in the lobby on Forbes and Ross. They're open until 8 p.m. today and from 7 a.m. - 8 p.m. tomorrow.
