Know your rights at the polls

 

Voting has never been more convenient and secure in Pennsylvania. Despite all the noise, misinformation and disinformation, our freedom to vote is protected because many of our leaders  believe in democracy and have expanded access to the ballot box. 

  • It is illegal for any state or local government to discriminate against anyone by denying them the right to vote based on their race, ethnicity, national origin, or membership in a language minority.
  • Your right to vote can only be challenged if a poll worker, poll watcher, or another voter says you do not live in the precinct or says you are not who you say you are.
  • It is illegal for any person or corporation to intimidate or coerce you to vote for or against a particular candidate or political issue.

Important things to remember

 

If you have requested a mail-in ballot and you don’t receive your ballot in time to vote-by-mail, you can cast your ballot provisionally at your polling location.

 

If you want to vote in person (but have already requested your ballot) you still can — bring your ballot and the outer declaration envelope into the voting center with you and sign a declaration surrendering your ballot.

 

If you face any difficulties voting or just have a question about casting your ballot, call 866-OUR-VOTE, the nonpartisan voter election hotline. 

 

Your vote is your voice: use it. For more voting information and resources, visit our website.
