Registering to Vote in Pennsylvania

All Pennsylvanians can register to vote, provided they meet the following criteria:

• Be a citizen of the United States for at least one month before the next primary, special, municipal, or general election.
• Be a resident of Pennsylvania and the election district in which you want to register and vote for at least 30 days before the next primary, special, municipal, or general election.
• Be at least 18 years of age on or before the day of the next primary, special, municipal, or general election.

The deadline to register to vote in the November 7 municipal general election is October 23, 2023.

Check your voter registration status for the next election.

You can register in just three easy steps:

• Fill out this form on your smartphone, tablet, or computer.
• Your county elections office will review the application.
• When your registration is complete, you will receive your voter registration card in the mail.

Tip: Before you begin, be sure to have your Pennsylvania driver’s license or PennDOT ID card handy. If you don’t have one, you can upload a signature or print and sign the form.

If your voter registration card does not come in the mail within 14 days, contact your county voter registration office.

Yes! You can:

• Mail in your voter registration application to your county voter registration office. Find your local county office here. Note: your request must have be received by November 23 to vote in the November 7 municipal general election.
• Register in person at your county voter registration office or at a PennDOT location near you.

No problem! You can update the address on file with the Pennsylvania Department of State by filling out the state’s voter registration form and selecting “change of address.” It’s important to keep your address updated to ensure you can receive and cast your ballot. You can also use the state’s form if you’ve changed your legal name, or if you want to change political parties.
