Statement from Allegheny County Elections Regarding a Video Circulating Online of Voters at the South Park Satellite Office on Oct. 26
PITTSBURGH – There was a group of voters on Saturday, Oct. 26, at the South Park Satellite Election Office who came to apply for mail in ballots and needed the assistance of translators. There was brief conversation between voters, their translators, and a County employee that was videotaped and is circulating on the internet.
The County employee provided instructions that elderly and disabled people were allowed to sit while they waited for their applications to process (as County employees had allowed for any elderly or disabled voter who was attempting to vote at any of our Satellite Offices). The able-bodied voters returned to the back of the line, elderly and disabled voters were permitted to sit and wait their turn, and those who needed the assistance of a translator were able to use their translator to help them through the process.
The deadline to register to vote was October 21. Therefore, any individual who requested a mail-in ballot this past weekend only would have been given a ballot if they were already registered. Only US Citizens may register to vote.
