How and Where to Register to Vote

  • Be a resident of Pennsylvania and your election district for at least 30 days before the next election.

Qualifications for Voters at a Primary

The qualifications for a voter entitled to vote at a primary are the same as a voter entitled to vote at an election, except that he or she must be registered in a political party in order to take part in and vote in that party’s primary. However, all registered voters are entitled to vote on questions placed on the ballot.
