Election Day is Tuesday, May 19, and Pennsylvania voters are being encouraged to make a plan before casting their ballots.
Voters can check their registration status at vote.pa.gov/status. They can also visit their county’s website to preview a sample ballot before Election Day.
Polling places will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on May 19. Voters can find their assigned polling location at the bottom of their voter registration status page. Anyone in line by 8 p.m. will still be allowed to vote.
Voters casting a ballot for the first time at their polling location should bring one of the required forms of identification.
Those voting by mail should carefully follow all ballot instructions. A mail ballot must be received by the county board of elections by 8 p.m. on May 19 to be counted.
Mail ballots may be returned by hand to the county board of elections, including through a county-designated drop box or satellite office, if available. Voters cannot submit a completed mail ballot at their polling place.
If a voter has not completed their mail ballot and wants to vote in person, they should bring all ballot materials to their polling place. Poll workers can help them vote in person.
Voters who requested a mail ballot but did not receive it may vote by provisional ballot at their polling place. Those with a last-minute emergency, such as an unexpected illness or absence from their municipality, may be able to request an emergency absentee ballot.
For questions, voters should contact their county elections office or visit vote.pa.gov.
