On Nov. 5, registered Philadelphians can cast their vote for the next President of the United States.
Polls will open starting at 7 a.m. and remain open until 8 p.m. on Election Day.
Voters should expect to vote for the president and a Pennsylvania U.S. Senator for their federal candidates. Voters can also cast votes for state candidates running in this election for the Attorney General, Auditor General, Treasurer and Pennsylvania House of Representatives.
First-time voters should be prepared to show ID on arrival. Approved forms of photo identification include a Pennsylvania driver’s license, an ID issued by any Commonwealth agency or the U.S. Government, a student ID or an employee ID. If voters do not have a photo ID, they can present a non-photo ID that contains their name and address.
When voters enter their designated polling location, they will first check in. From there, a poll worker will help guide them to a voting station to get started. Voters will then make their selections on the touch screen. The candidate they select will be highlighted in green.
After they make their selection, voters are encouraged by the PA Government website to double check that their preferred candidate is highlighted and that they have voted for all contests they wish to. Voters are not required to vote for every contest.
When voters are finished casting their vote, click ‘print’ on the screen. The printed paper ballot will show up in a window to the right of the screen. Voters can ensure that all selections are accurate and then click ‘cast’ to submit the ballot. A confirmation screen will appear after the ballot has been submitted.
