Friday, April 18, 2008 is the deadline to receive voted civilian Absentee Ballots.
Here are more important notes from the BOE website on submitting voted Absentee Ballots:
All voted absentee ballots; except those received from military and overseas electors, and emergency absentee electors, as defined by law, must be received by the county board of elections by 5:00 PM on this day to be counted.
A voter may appear in person at the Bureau of Elections any time prior to the deadline to deposit their own voted ballot into a ballot box for such purpose.
On the day of the deadline, voters also have the option of placing the proper postage upon the voted absentee ballot and giving it to the postal worker at the public counter of the main branch of the post office on South Main Street, Wilkes-Barre. The postal worker will hand cancel the postage and hold it for a representative of the Bureau of Elections who will collect those voted absentee ballots for processing at 4:45 PM.

Dear Republicans and Friends
Sunday, May 4th, Voice of the People USA will be holding an anti-illegal immigration and pro-free speech rally at noon.
We will be in the Cee Kay Auto parking lot in Wilkes-Barre (501 S. Main Street).
We are having it there because Wilkes-Barre wanted to charge us $200 to have it on Public Square.
-Renee Butts
Voice of the People, USA
(Editor's Note from Jimbo: Paying to rally for free speech on Public Square is an outrage. I wonder how this would have gone over in Boston in the 1770's??)
