PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) -- Pennsylvania's top doctor and secretary of state say voters can still cast their ballot if they are in quarantine because of COVID-19.

Secretary of Health Dr. Rachel Levine says, anyone in isolation because of infection or exposure to the coronavirus can make arrangements to get an emergency absentee ballot from their county elections office if they haven't done so already.


Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar says the elections office is required under law to have a county election official or a sheriff's deputy deliver that ballot to a voter's home on Election Day.

Boockvar says the law also allows a voter to assign a person to return that emergency ballot to the county elections office where it can be counted.

She says any registered voter -- regardless of their health status -- is entitled to vote, and the county where that person lives must make an emergency ballot available.
