You and your friends should vote
To vote in Pennsylvania you must be registered by October 19.

- Register online here or download a paper form to print and mail in.
There are many ways to vote:
- Go to your polling place on Election Day, November 3, from 7 AM to 8 PM.
- Go to one of the satellite elections offices in Philly. Registered voters can request, receive, fill out, and submit a mail ballot in one stop.
- Get a ballot by mail. The deadline to request a mail ballot is 5 PM on October 27. It needs to be filled out and sealed in two envelopes provided. You can mail it, but we recommend that you turn in your completed mail ballot at an election office before Election Day.
