Can I vote for candidates of either party I choose (Republican or Democrat)?

Pennsylvania is “closed primary” state, meaning you have to be a registered party member to vote in a party’s primary. Not sure if you are? Check your registration status:

How do I find my polling place?

Look it up online at  https://www.pavoterservices.pa.gov/Pages/PollingPlaceInfo.aspx

 

Do I need any identification (ID) to vote?

If you have voted at your polling location before, you do not need to bring ID to vote. Only voters who are voting for the first time in their election district need to show ID. Acceptable ID includes both photo and non-photo ID.

 Acceptable IDs for first-time voters:

·   Driver’s license

·   U.S. passport

·   Military, student, or employee ID

·   Voter registration card

·   Firearm permit

·   Current utility bill, bank statement, paycheck or government check

·   Any ID issued by the commonwealth or federal government

Note: An ID without your photo must have your address on it.
