Pennsylvanians: Register to vote by May 5 for the municipal primary
Pennsylvanians have until Monday, May 5, to register to vote or update their voter information. According to an announcement, the deadline is set ahead of the Tuesday, May 20, municipal primary. Voters can register for the first time or update their information through several methods. They can submit their registration online at or obtain a paper application from candidates, political parties or various government offices. Additionally, voters can request a paper application from the Department of State's website at or download it from the same site or the Franklin County website at For those updating their information while renewing a driver's license, applications can also be made at Department of Transportation photo license centers. Other government agencies, such as state offices providing public assistance, armed forces recruitment centers and county offices, also offer voter registration services. Once an application is processed, voters will receive a registration card in the mail that details any changes made and the location of their polling place. Applications received or postmarked after May 5 will be processed for the Municipal Election in November. The May municipal primary ballot will include positions such as judge of the superior court, county treasurer, school director and borough mayor, among others. Pennsylvania operates under a closed primary voting system, meaning only registered Democrats and Republicans can vote for their parties' candidates. Voters registered as Independent or with minor parties will not be able to participate in the primary, unless they change their affiliation to either Democratic or Republican before the deadline.
