polling-locations

Prepare for election day in PA, DE, and CT by knowing the closest polling place and what to expect.

By Sydney Kerelo

Every voice counts during election season; this year, make your voice heard. Prepare for this year’s election by knowing where to vote in Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Connecticut.

What Can I Expect at the Polling Place?

Check your polling location hours to vote in this year’s elections. Typically, polls are open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Election Day, and upon arrival, check in with the poll workers for check-in. If you can vote on a regular ballot, you will either hand-mark a paper ballot or vote using a ballot marking device.

Pennsylvania updated its voting system after 2018, so voting systems may differ from one county to another. Check-in with your county to learn more about their voting system.

Your polling site may provide you with a provisional ballot if you are not eligible to vote on a regular ballot. Often, county elections officials need more time to determine someone's voter eligibility, and they may ask that voter to vote a provisional ballot to record their vote while still determining if it can be counted.

Where Are My Polling Locations?

Connecticut and Delawre’s Primary Elections are on April 2nd, with Pennsylvania’s help on April 23rd. All polling locations will be finalized in early April and are subject to change, so check your county website before heading to the polls.
