Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 3. What’s your plan to vote?
STEP 1: Are you ready to vote?
Check your voter registration status at vote.pa.gov/status. Check your county’s website to preview a sample ballot.
STEP 2: How will you vote?
At the polls:
- You can find your assigned polling place by checking the location listed at the bottom of your registration status page.
- Polling locations are open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Nov. 3.
- If you are in line by 8 p.m., stay there: You will be able to vote.
- If you are voting for the first time at your polling location, make sure you have one of the required forms of identification.
By mail ballot:
- Make sure you read and follow the directions carefully.
- You are the only person permitted to return your ballot unless you have a disability and designate someone in writing to return your ballot using this form.
- Your ballot must be received by your county board of elections by 8 p.m. on Nov. 3 to be counted. You can return your ballot by hand to your county board of elections, including through a county-designated drop box or satellite office if your county provides one.
- Remember: You cannot submit your completed mail ballot at your polling place. If you have not completed your mail ballot and want to vote in person, bring your ballot materials with you to your polling place and the poll workers will help you be able to vote in person.
STEP 3: Did your plan change?
- If you requested a mail ballot but did not receive it, you may vote by provisional ballot at your polling place.
- If you have a last-minute emergency, such as an unexpected illness or absence from your municipality, you may be able to get an emergency absentee ballot.
If you have any questions, contact your county elections office or visit vote.pa.gov.
Thank you for being an informed and active voter.
Sincerely,
Al Schmidt
Secretary of the Commonwealth
