As a judge of elections in Philadelphia’s 25th ward, Jett Biggertt does a lot of dotting of i’s and crossing of t’s to make sure their polling place is staffed up and ready to run smoothly on Election Day.

Biggertt’s goal, they said, is to ensure a safe and fair election and a problem-free voting experience for the approximately 600 registered voters in the 25th ward, which includes parts of the Kensington and Port Richmond neighborhoods.

Biggert said that whether you’re simply voting or if you’re signing up as a judge of elections or a poll worker, everyone needs to open their eyes, and ears, do their research, and “show up.”

Are you ready to vote? Make sure to check your voter registration status, see who’s on your ballot, and make a voting plan here.

Support Our Cause

Thank you for taking the time to read our work. Before you go, we hope you'll consider supporting our values-driven journalism, which has always strived to make clear what's really at stake for Pennsylvanians and our future.

Since day one, our goal here at The Keystone has always been to empower people across the commonwealth with fact-based news and information. We believe that when people are armed with knowledge about what's happening in their local, state, and federal governments—including who is working on their behalf and who is actively trying to block efforts aimed at improving the daily lives of Pennsylvania families—they will be inspired to become civically engaged.
