Learning about your ballot is a critical part of active democratic civic engagement.  Voters registered in Pennsylvania can click this link to access a sample ballot and learn about the candidates and ballot questions for upcoming elections.

Please note that Pennsylvania’s primary elections (held in the spring) are “closed” primaries, meaning that only registered Democrats will be able to vote for Democratic candidates, and only registered Republicans will be able to vote for Republican candidates. Those not registered with a party, and those registered with a third party, will still be able to vote on statewide referenda, local initiatives, and special elections.  Note: the November 2025 Pennsylvania election is an OPEN election.
