Deadline Fast Approaching To Register To Vote

CHAMBERSBURG, Pa. – The Franklin County Voter Registration Office shares the following important information on key dates ahead of the Nov. 7 Municipal Election.

How do I submit my initial voter registration application or change of name, address and/or party affiliation?

1. Submit online by going to register.votespa.com. 

2. By mail in one of two ways:

• Obtain a state or federal voter registration mail application from a candidate, political party or other federal, state and municipal offices. You may also request one from the Department of State’s website at www.vote.pa.gov.
• Download the voter registration application available from the Department of State’s website, www.vote.pa.gov, or from Franklin County’s website, www.franklincountypa.gov.
