Step 3 says to complete the voter's declaration. Is that where you sign and date it? Also, I'm a little confused about that part. I've read that the PA Voting Law says you must do this AND YET the acting Secretary of State Leigh M. Chapman said county elections officials should count mail-in votes that arrive in exterior envelopes with inaccurate or nonexistent handwritten dates, DESPITE the state law requirement. This is confusing and concerning to me.

Yes.

In 2020 they separated ballots that arrived late, but still counted them just in case. If the race comes down to those ballots, they may resolve it in court before certifying it. If they are statistically irrelevant (they usually are) it will just be a note.
