PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- If you want to vote in this month's Primary election, there are some key dates to remember.
Monday is the last day to register to vote before the May 17 election.
The deadline to request a mail-in or absentee ballot is May 10.
To date, the state said more than 771,600 Pennsylvanians have applied for a mail-in ballot and more than 90,200 Pennsylvanians have applied for an absentee ballot to vote in the primary.
