Not registered to vote in Pennsylvania but you want to vote in the November midterm election? Do you need to update your registration before Election Day? You’ve come to the right place.
We’re going to give you step-by-step instructions on the four convenient, secure, and accurate ways you can register to vote in Pennsylvania.
Most Pennsylvanians can register to vote. To be eligible, a person must meet the following requirements:
- Be a citizen of the United States for at least one month before Election Day, which falls on Nov. 3 this year.
- Be a resident of a Pennsylvania election district for at least 30 days before Election Day.
- Be at least 18 years of age or older on Election Day.
- Currently not serving a prison sentence for any felony convictions (voting rights are restored immediately upon release).
- Not found guilty of violating any provision of the Pennsylvania Election Code within the last four years.
If you meet those requirements, you must register to vote by Oct. 19. If you are currently registered to vote, but have moved or changed your name since you last voted, you’ll have to update your registration, which you can do through any of the following methods.
Online registration
You can register to vote in Pennsylvania by using the state’s online voter registration form, found right here.
You’ll be asked to provide the pertinent details like your name, age, address, and your Pa. driver’s license or PennDOT ID card number. If you don’t have a Pa. driver’s license or PennDOT ID, you can enter the last four digits of your Social Security number.
You’ll also be asked to select your political party, and indicate if you need assistance with voting or language.
