Voter Resource Guide

Voting gives you a voice as an American citizen. It gives you the chance to be heard and choose who will run your community. Every voice matters, and every vote counts. Check out this guide that will help you find all the information you need to vote.If this is your first time voting, or you just want to freshen up on protocol, USA.gov provides a load of educational resources to help you learn about how elections work.

Registration

In order to vote, you must meet certain eligibility requirements and then register.

All states require that a person must be a U.S. citizen; however, other eligibility requirements differ between states.

Most states, including Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jersey, allow voter registration to be done by mail using the National Mail Voter Registration From. You can also register in person at state or local election officers, the department of motor vehicles, or other public offices.

Each state has its own voter registration deadline. Pennsylvania's is 30 days before Election Day, New Jersey's is 21 days before an election and Delaware's is the fourth Saturday before a primary or general election and 10 days before a special election.

There are several ways to vote, including:

• In Person: Going to the polling location to vote.
• Absentee Ballot: If you cannot go to your polling location in person on Election Day.
• You can apply for an absentee ballot.
• Alternative Ballot: If a location has been deemed inaccessible for you because of disability reasons, you may use an alternative ballot.
• Provisional Voting: If your eligibility to vote is in question, you may use a provisional ballot.

Also, fvap.gov provides absentee resources for any U.S. citizen and their family who is on active-duty for the Armed Forces, Merchant Marine, Public Health Service, NOAA, or is a citizen living outside the United States for work, school or other reasons and wants to vote.
