IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT VOTING
Pennsylvania is a “Closed Primary” state: Registered Democrats and Republicans will vote on candidates within their own party. Registered Independents and 3rd Party voters can only vote on Ballot Questions this election.
Verify your voter Registration: The deadline to register to vote or update your voter registration for the Primary was Monday May 1, 2023. Verify your registration status here.
If you have been impacted by the carceral system, you can still vote: as long as you aren’t in prison or jail for a felony conviction or haven’t committed election fraud within the last four years.
If voting in person: Polls are open 7am to 8pm on Election day Tuesday, May 16, 2023. Find your polling location here. Photo ID is not required to vote unless it is your first time voting in your current division. If you requested a mail-in ballot but have changed your mind you will still need to surrender your mail-in ballot and all related envelopes in order to vote at the polls. If you have any problems you can always request to vote by provisional ballot. Wear a mask and observe social distancing inside the polling place. If you are in line by 8pm you are legally allowed to vote.
If voting by mail: The deadline to apply for a mail-in or absentee ballot is Tuesday, May 9, 2023. To ensure that it arrives in time, we advise you to drop off your mail-in ballot at the Board of Elections in City Hall or the closest 24/7 Ballot Drop Off Box by 8pm on Election Day, not your polling place.
Make your mail-in ballot count: 1) Mark your ballot with a black or blue pen. 2) Seal it in the secrecy envelope. 3) Seal the secrecy envelope into the return envelope. Ballots without the secrecy envelope will not be counted! 4) Sign and date the return envelope.
