A Message Regarding the Pennsylvania Primary Election
April 17, 2024
Dear Penn Community,
On April 23, our campus community will join the rest of Pennsylvania in voting for Democratic and Republican candidates for the federal offices of President, U.S. Senate, U.S. House of Representatives, and the Pennsylvania offices of Attorney General, Auditor General, Treasurer, and House of Representatives.
Pennsylvania is a “closed primary state,” so you must have been registered with a party by April 8 to vote for candidates in the primary. Take two minutes to confirm your party affiliation. If you are not affiliated with a party on your registration, you will be allowed to vote only on ballot measures.
While the election is next Tuesday, April 23, you can make a plan today to ensure your vote is counted.
Right now: Make a plan to go on election day, and block out time on your calendar to vote. On-campus residents can find your polling location here and all others can find it here.
- If you requested a mail-in ballot, your complete ballot must be returned by 8 p.m. on April 23.
This week: Research candidates and ballot measures.
