REGISTERING TO VOTE
Registering is the first step to voting. You may check your registration status, update your registration, or register for the first time using the resources found below.
Voters that have moved, changed their name, or wish to change their political party affiliation must complete a new voter registration form.
In Pennsylvania, residents must register or update their registration by Monday, October 21, 2024, for the 2024 General Election. The registration process can be done online, by mail, or in-person at the County Government Center in Media.
