Eligibility for Primary Elections

A primary election is an election in which a political party nominates its candidates for an upcoming general election. In Pennsylvania you must be registered and enrolled in a political party to vote in that party's primary.

All registered voters are entitled to vote on Constitutional amendments, ballot questions and in all special elections that might be held at the same time as a primary election.
