2024 General Election “At-a-Glance” Voter Guide

October 29, 2024 Category: Elections, Local Posted by:

Many critical city, state, and federal offices are at stake in this year’s general election, beginning with the marquee contest for the next U.S. president and vice president.

The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania remains one of the most important battleground states in the nation.

In other federal contests, Pennsylvanians will elect one U.S. senator and several U.S. representatives.

In the statewide contests, Pennsylvanians will elect an attorney general, auditor general, and treasurer. Some Pennsylvania General Assembly candidates are also on the ballot.

There will also be third-party candidates on the ballot, unlike during the closed primary election.

All registered voters are eligible to cast a ballot. Election Day is Tuesday, November 5.

Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. for those who choose to vote in person. 

In addition to the Philadelphia County Board of Elections Office, there are also official drop boxes, and Satellite Election Offices (SEOs) throughout the city. Information about all of these can be found at:

https://vote.phila.gov/news/2024/09/26/2024-general-election-mail-ballots-office-hours-and-drop-boxes.

The deadline to apply for a mail ballot is October 29 at 5 p.m.

You can apply online at: www.pavoterservices.pa.gov/OnlineAbsenteeApplication/

To ensure that your mail ballot is not rejected, you must:

  1. Read the instructions carefully.
  2. Fill out the ballot, being sure to follow instructions on how to mark their candidate selections. 
  3. Seal the ballot in the yellow secrecy envelope marked “Official Election Ballot.” 
  4. Seal the yellow envelope in the larger outer return envelope.
  5. Sign and write the current date on the voter’s declaration on the larger envelope.

Voters must follow every single step listed above exactly as they are listed, in order.

Due to humid weather conditions during the initial mailing period, some voters received mail ballots where the secrecy envelopes were sealed shut. If any components of your mail ballot arrived damaged in any way and need to be replaced — including the ballot itself, secrecy envelope, or declaration envelope — you can visit one of the SEOs for assistance. The offices are open Monday through Friday, from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. 

Voters can also visit the County Board of Elections Office in City Hall, Room 140. The office is open Monday through Friday, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Replacements can also be requested online at: www.phila.jotform.com/242424988788982.

The deadline for receiving mail-in and absentee ballots is November 5 at 8 p.m.
