Deadline to register to vote in May 20 primaries only two weeks away

Pennsylvanians who wish to cast a vote in next month’s primary must be registered to vote by May 5.

While off-year elections typically draw less attention than those on even-numbered years, the upcoming primaries will determine which candidates advance in a host of local and statewide races that will be held in November.

Pennsylvania has a closed, partisan primary system. That means only voters registered as Democrats or Republicans, respectively, will have a chance to cast a ballot for which of their party’s candidates will advance to the general election in November.

Which elections are being held this year will vary across different parts of the state. Many municipalities will hold elections for city and county commissioners, school board members, township supervisors, Court of Common Pleas judges and other elected positions.
