The deadline to register to vote in the November 8th election is rapidly approaching, according to the PA Department of State.
Acting Secretary of State Leigh Chapman said today that Pennsylvanians who are not already registered to vote have one week from today – until October 24 — to register for the November general election, in which residents will vote for governor, lieutenant governor and U.S. Senator, along with congressional representatives, state senators and state House members.
Pennsylvanians wishing to register to vote in the upcoming election must be a U.S. citizen at least one month before the election, a resident of Pennsylvania and the election district in which the person wants to register and vote for at least 30 days before the election, and at least 18 years of age on or before the date of the election.
Voters are also encouraged to use the online system to confirm their registration status prior to the deadline. A link to that can be found here. The site also provides county election office contact information and a polling place locator.
More information on voting registration can be found on the Department of State’s website.
