Voting in the 85th
Mark your calendars to vote by April 23, 2024 in the Democratic Primary (you can request your mail-in ballot today) and by November 5, 2024 in the general election!
Are you registered to vote? If you are not registered to vote, you will not be able to exercise your right to vote on election day. You can go to the Pennsylvania Department of State’s voter registration website here.
At this website you can:
- Register to vote online (if you are a new Pennsylvania voter or a new voter)
- Check if you are registered to vote in Pennsylvania
- Change your voter registration if you have moved from one part of Pennsylvania to another
Request your mail-in ballot today. Voting by mail is safe, secure, and guarantees your right to vote even if you don’t have time to get to the polls on election day.
Every Pennsylvanian voter has the right to vote by mail. If you are working on the day of the April 23 primary or November 5 general election, be sure to request your ballot today!
The 85th district includes all of Snyder County; Union County’s East Buffalo and Union Townships; Mifflin County’s Burnham, Decatur, and Derry Townships; and Juniata County’s Fayette and Monroe Townships. If you are not sure what State House district you are in, you can check here using the Pennsylvania Legislature’s “Find Your Legislator” tool!
There are around 50,000 eligible voters in the district, but no state representative of the 85th has won more than 22,000 votes in recent years because not everyone exercises their voting rights. Don’t give up your right to vote–it’s the foundation of our American democracy.
