Pa. is prepared for 'incredibly important' municipal elections, Secretary of State Al Schmidt says [View all]

Election officials across Pennsylvania are ready to ensure a free, fair and safe election Tuesday, Secretary of the Commonwealth Al Schmidt said.

Schmidt, who oversees election administration, urged voters to make a plan to vote if they have not done so already, noting that although there are no federal offices on the ballot this year, many important state and local positions are.

“Typically, as you know, there’s lower voter turnout in this election cycle,” Schmidt told reporters in the briefing Monday. “Unfortunately, we want high voter turnout in every election cycle, and there’s really no good reason for it, because these offices are incredibly important.”

Election information including voter registration status, polling place locations, voting rights information and more is available online at vote.pa.gov, Schmidt said.
