MAIL-IN BALLOT & ELECTION DAY INFO
Here is a whole lot of voting information for you. Check it out for yourself and share with your friends and neighbors. You'd be surprised how many voters will think this primary election is not important but are open to hearing about it. Sharing your knowledge may get a voter to the polls!
We have three PA statewide races that are very important to our lives -- PA Attorney General, PA Auditor General and PA Treasurer. By telling your friends, you'll be doing a big deal to get the vote out!
Here are the important deadlines coming up --
1. Last day to register to vote in the primary -- April 8th.
2. Last day to sign up for a mail-in ballot -- April 16th. Sign up here.
You must do it before 5:00 pm on April 16th. But do it NOW so you have time to review the ballot when you receive it.
Here are the Mail-in Ballot and Election Day tips --
1. Election Day is Tuesday, April 23rd. Polls are open from 7:00 am to 8:00 pm. If you are in line by 8:00 you can still vote. Find your polling place at this link.
