Presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are making their campaign stops in Pennsylvania as the Nov. 8 election draws closer.

For many college students living far from home, driving to their local polling place is not feasible in the middle of the school week.

For those who cannot go home to vote, the absentee ballot may be the solution.

After confirming you are registered to vote, visit votespa.com to print out an absentee ballot application. Send it to your county election office. Your application must get to the County Board of Elections the Tuesday before voting by 5 p.m.

If you will be 18 years old on or before Nov. 8 you can vote in the 2016 presidential election. Pennsylvania residents can visit votespa.com and Maryland residents can go to elections.maryland.gov for more information.
