HARRISBURG, Pa. — For first-time voters or those new to the area, here's what's needed to ensure your voice is counted on Election Day.
Those who haven't voted before or are voting in a new place are required to bring a photo or non-photo ID.
Voters may use one of the following forms of photo identification, so long as it is not expired, canceled, or revoked:
- Pennsylvania driver’s license or PennDOT ID card
- ID issued by any Commonwealth agency
- ID issued by the U.S. Government
- U.S. passport
- U.S. Armed Forces ID
- Student ID
- Employee ID
For those without a photo ID, use one of the following so long as it includes a name and address:
- Confirmation issued by the county voter registration office, such as a voter registration card.
- Non-photo ID issued by the Commonwealth
- Non-photo ID issued by the U.S. Government
- Firearm permit
- Current utility bill
- Current bank statement
- Paycheck
- Government check
For repeating voters, no ID is necessary! Voters don't have to show ID again unless they move or are assigned to a new polling place.
In Pennsylvania, polls are open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.
The busiest times of day to vote are typically in the morning and evening, according to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
Those in line at or before 8 p.m. will still be allowed to cast their vote.
