To vote in Pennsylvania on Election Day you must meet two requirements:
You are Eligible to Vote if: you are a U.S. citizen, AND you will be 18 years of age by Election Day (you do not have to be 18 when you register), AND you are a resident of Pennsylvania.
You must register to vote not later than 30 days prior to the election.
Note: If you have voted in an election after January 1998, you should still be registered. If you are unsure about your registration status, you should register to vote to protect your right to participate in this election (or call your local Election Board to confirm your status as a registered voter – for Philadelphia the phone number is 215.686.1505).
You Need to Re-register if you have moved; OR you have changed your name through marriage or for any other reason; OR you have failed to vote since BEFORE 1995; OR you encountered a mix-up in your registration records at the last election and needed a court order to vote. (Remember: an Election Court order is only good for that Election Day.)

If you have indicated your need for assistance on your voter registration materials; OR by signing a declaration of your need for assistance at your polling place on Election Day and don’t know what this means, go to:
