Election Day is Tuesday, November 4th. Polls will be open from 7 AM - 8 PM. Remember, if you’re in line by 8 PM, you can vote.

This year, Pennsylvanians will be voting on candidates for municipal offices, open seats for Commonwealth and Superior Court judges, and retention of three PA Supreme Court Justices. 

Feeling overwhelmed? Don't worry, the Committee of Seventy and other nonpartisan organizations provide information on the candidates, where to vote, and even offer sample ballots for individual voting divisions in Philadelphia. Check out C70’s Interactive Voter Guide for the upcoming November 4th General Election.
