PA Voter Registration Deadline Pushed Back a Day

Election season is upon us, but before you try to get out the vote, don’t forget to get out the registration. This year you've got an extra day to do it. 

Because of a conflict with Columbus Day, the deadline to register to vote in Pennsylvania’s off-year general election has been moved back a day, to Oct. 11.

Adults who have been residents of the United States, Pennsylvania, and their registration district for at least 30 days prior to the Nov. 8 vote are eligible to register. Also, anyone who has changed their name or address since they last voted is advised to re-register.

Voter registration applications are available at County Boards of Elections, post offices, state liquor stores, and all free library branches, or can be downloaded at www.seventy.org and www.votespa.com. 

Voters can also register at PennDot photo license centers, armed forces recruitment offices, state offices that provide public assistance to the disabled, county clerk of orphans offices, area agencies of the aging, centers for independent living, county mental health offices, student disability services, offices of special education, and ADA complementary paratransit offices.

Roxborough-Manayunk residents can submit completed registration forms by mail, or in person, to the Philadelphia County Board of Elections at 520 N Delaware Ave, 5th Floor, Philadelphia, PA, 19123.

Voters who don't know if they are registered can call the Philadelphia County Board of Elections at 215-686-1591 or 1-877-VOTESPA for an update on their status.
