Elections
In
a democratic society, elections are held to give people an opportunity to make
their own choices of lawmakers and administrators, and to express their judgment
on questions touching their own government. In the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,
elections are held as follows: General Election
(national and state offices): Held in all even numbered years on the Tuesday next
following the first Monday of November.
Municipal
Election (county and/or local offices): Held in all odd numbered years on the Tuesday next
following the first Monday in November.
Primary
Election: Held on the third Tuesday of May in all years except presidential years, when it
is held on the fourth Tuesday of April.
Primary
elections are party elections and their purpose is to nominate candidates of a political
party for elections to any office to be voted upon at the General or Municipal Election. A
voter who has registered for a party must state party preference at a Primary Election and
is permitted to vote only for the candidates of that party. However, this does not
interfere with voting for a candidate of any party in the General or Municipal Election.
At a Primary Election, voters registered as independent may vote on issues included on the
ballot only.
