May 17 is the Municipal General Election. Important updates since the last election are bolded.

Only registered members of the Democratic or Republican parties are able to vote in this election. The deadline to update your voter registration was May 2.
Despite the January 28 ruling, you can still apply for a no-excuse mail-in ballot or absentee ballot. The deadline to register for a mail-in or absentee ballot is May 10 by 5 PM.
If you vote by mail-in or absentee ballot, complete it in black or blue ink, place it inside the privacy envelope, place the privacy envelope inside the mailing envelope, and sign the outside of the sealed mailing envelope.
Mail-in ballots and absentee ballots must be received by May 17 at 8 PM. Check your ballot or ballot application status online.
Drop off your completed mail-in or absentee ballot at the Allegheny County Elections Division (map here). Unless you are the designated agent for a disabled person, you can only drop off your own ballot.
Find your polling place on Allegheny County’s website.
Polls are open from 7 AM to 8 PM on Election Day. If you are in line at 8 PM, you are still allowed to vote.
Follow all COVID-19 safety protocol if you are voting in person. We recommend you wear a mask even if you are vaccinated and boosted to protect immunocompromised individuals.
An ID is not required to vote unless you are voting for the first time at your polling place. You may show a photo ID or a non-photo ID if it has your full name and current address on it. Read the entire list of acceptable IDs online.
If you have a mail-in or absentee ballot and want to vote in person instead, take it, the privacy envelope, and the mailing envelope to your polling station on Election Day. After you sign a declaration that you have not voted yet, you will get a new ballot.
If you are unsure about your registration or your mail-in or absentee ballot status, you may cast a provisional ballot at your polling station.
If you think you have found an illegal ballot return, destroyed or tampered ballots, or your ability to vote was impeded by intimidation, bias, or lack of appropriate aid, you may file a complaint by calling the Pennsylvania Department of State at 877-VOTES-PA (877-868-3772) or by completing an online form. You can also contact the national organization Vote411.org by calling 1-866-OUR-VOTE (866-687-8683).
