Pennsylvania voter registration deadline is Tuesday

Pennsylvanians have one week left to register to vote in the Nov. 6 election. Citizens can take advantage of quick and convenient online voter registration.

Eligible citizens have until Tuesday to apply for a new voter registration or make changes to their existing registration.

The state’s OVR application can be found at register.votesPA.com.

In addition to applying for a new registration, the OVR system can also be used to make updates to an existing voter record, such as a change of name, address or party affiliation.

Since the launch of OVR in August 2015, more than 1.18 million eligible Pennsylvanians have used the site.

Voters are also encouraged to use the online system to confirm their registration status prior to the deadline.

The site also provides polling place information and identifies each voter’s congressional, state Senate and state House districts.

Registered voters planning to cast an absentee ballot are advised to pay close attention to important deadlines.

Although the deadline to request an absentee ballot is Oct. 30, the voted ballots must be received in the county election office by 5 p.m. on Nov. 2.

For more information on voter registration, call the Department of State’s toll-free hotline at 877-868-3772 or visit votesPA.com.
