Register to Vote: The November 5, 2024 General Election is Approaching

The November 5, 2024 General Election is just four months away. Now is the perfect time to ensure you're registered to vote and that your information is up-to-date. Don't wait until the last minute—register now to make sure your voice is heard!

Eligible citizens who need to register for the first time or update their personal information (such as their address or legal name) must do so at least 15 days before the General Election. If you're already registered at your current address, no further action is needed.

To cast a ballot in Delaware County, you must meet the following requirements:

• Be a U.S. citizen (for at least one month before the election)
• Be a resident of Delaware County
• Be at least 18 years old before or on election day
• Not in prison or on parole for a felony

If you’ve moved since the previous election or changed your name legally (e.g., change in marital status), it's crucial to ensure your information is up-to-date. To check on your registration status, visit the State’s website at:
PaVoterServices.PA.Gov/pages/VoterRegistrationStatus.aspx.

To register or update your information, you can register:

• In person at the Voter Registration office in Media at the Delaware County Government Center. If possible, voters who register in person should present a PA driver’s license, state ID or the last 4 digits of the Social Security number. The registration office is open weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
• By mail with the downloadable form at DelcoPA.Gov/Registration.
• Online through the Pennsylvania Department of State website at DelcoPA.Gov/Register2Vote. Online registrations must be completed by 11:59 p.m. on Mon., Oct. 21.
