Making Sure College Students Can Vote in PA, and other election deadlines and reminders!
Pennsylvania parents, you have an important mission this week: Check your voter registration, and remind your friends, your family, your neighbors, your mail carrier, your college students, your dog sitter, and everyone else you know, too!
To help, here are some resources and reminders, including shareable graphics you can download and post on social media.
Share Now: Make Sure the Student Vote is Counted
Did you know there are almost 650k college and graduate students in PA? Whether you are one, or know one, let's make sure their votes are counted! Here are useful reminders to download and share.
To vote in PA, college students must:
- Be a citizen of the United States for at least one month before the election;
- Be a resident of their election district for at least 30 days before the next election;
- Be at least 18 on Election Day.
College students can register where they currently live (on or off campus) or at their prior home address, as long as they still have family living there. Find out more at Spotlight PA, or vote.PA.gov.
Check Your Registration Now: Share with 3 Friends
Together, let's make sure no one misses the deadline to register or request a mail-in ballot. If you've moved, changed your name, turned 18, or have any doubts whatsoever about being registered, take some time this week to check. Then please share this information with 3 friends or family members who might need to do the same. Here are some handy graphics you can download and use.
Together, we're celebrating voting, our democracy, and our power to make our voices heard around issues we care about. Thanks for all you're doing!
