    Check Your Voter Registration for the Upcoming Election

    Update your voter registration

    Dear Pennsylvania Voter,

    Have you recently moved or changed your name? Is your voter registration accurate and up to date?

    Pennsylvania’s primary election is Tuesday, May 19, 2026. Now is the time to check your voter registration status and to make sure your information is current. It is IMPORTANT to check your party affiliation for the primary. 

    Reminder: Voting in a primary election for party nominees is limited to only those voters registered as Democratic or Republican. However, all registered voters can vote in a primary election if the ballot also includes any of the following:

    • a constitutional amendment question, 

    • a ballot question, or

    • a special election in their district. 

    Contact your county board of elections for ballot information: vote.pa.gov/County.

    Whether you plan to vote by mail or vote at your polling place, you must update your information or change your party affiliation by Monday, May 4, 2026, for the changes to take effect before the primary. 

    If you are unsure about your voter registration status, go to vote.pa.gov/Status.

    For more information about voting and elections in PA, visit vote.pa.gov. 

     

    Sincerely, 

    Al Schmidt

    Secretary of the Commonwealth
