CHAMBERSBURG, Pa. – Do you know where your polling place is located? Are you still considered an active voter? Voters who are unsure of these answers can verify this information online through the statewide SURE Public Portal.
Voters can visit www.pavoterservices.pa.gov and click on the Find Voter Registration Status link to search for their voter registration status (active or inactive) and polling place address.
The General Election will be held Nov. 3. The deadline to register to vote or to make any changes to a voter’s registration is Oct. 19. If a voter’s information shows an outdated address after the Oct. 19 deadline, by law the voter can vote at his or her old polling place for one election. While at the polling place, the voter can ask the Judge of Election for the proper form to update his or her name and/or address for the next election.
Once the Franklin County Voter Registration Office processes the request, the voter will be mailed a new registration card reflecting the updated information and polling place location.
One Franklin County polling location has permanently changed ahead of the November election. The Fannett-Dry Run precinct has a new permanent polling location at the Upper Path Valley Presbyterian Church, 16950 Main St., Spring Run. Voters affected by a change in voting precincts have received a new voter registration card in the mail.
Voters who are voting in a new precinct for the first time may be asked to show ID at their new polling location; this is the only time voters will be asked to show ID. For a list of approved forms of ID, visit the Department of State website, www.vote.pa.gov.
Any questions concerning a voter’s registration should be directed to the Franklin County Voter Registration Office at 717-261-3886. Questions about polling places or the upcoming election should be directed to the Franklin County Election Board at 717-261-3812.
