I think I'm registered to vote...how can I check?Checking your voter registration status in Pennsylvania is easy! You can also make sure your address and name are current, and check if you are registered as a Democrat, Republican, or Independent. Simply use this online form to instantly check your voter status.
-
How do I know where to vote?The Voting Ward you live in determines your polling place. You can quickly look up your polling place using this Search Tool. On the County's website you can view Voting Ward Maps by municipality.
-
What is the Primary election?The Primary is an election by the political parties to nominate their candidates for the General Election ballot. Primaries are held in the spring. No one is elected in a Primary election; candidates are nominated. In order to win a political party nomination, the candidate must receive more votes than anyone else in his/her party for that race.
-
I am registered Independent. Can I vote in the Primary?Pennsylvania has closed primary elections, meaning only registered Democrats and Republicans can vote for candidates from their respective party. Therefore, Independents cannot vote in the primaries. If you are unsure what party you are affiliated with, you can check your voter registration status here. To change your party, complete the voter registration application **BY MONDAY, MAY 5**
-
How are candidates listed below?All candidates are listed in alphabetical order by last name. The candidate's party affiliation is listed in parenthesis after their name; D for Democrat, R for Republican, and I for Independent (no Independents run in the Primary).
-
Why do some names have R/D next to them?Some positions, including School Board Directors and Magisterial District Judges, allow candidates to cross-file. This means they have the option to file as a candidate for both the Democratic and Republican parties, and will appear on the Primary ballot for both parties.
-
Why do some candidates link to more information?Franklin Votes sent a letter in early spring to each candidate that submitted petitions for nomination, inviting them to share their candidate information for our website. If the candidate submitted information to Franklin Votes, it is linked to from their name. We invite all candidates to submit information using this form
