| |  | | Hi John xxxxxx,
Did you know that only 1 in 4 of registered voters cast a ballot on Primary Election Day in the Commonwealth? Turnout was as low as 7% in some precincts.
To expand the electorate and strengthen our democracy, we must vote and encourage others to register and vote as well.
You have the opportunity to determine who will be the next President, as well as PA’s Attorney General, Auditor General, Treasurer and a number of other down ballot state and federal House and Senate seats.
