Some Voting Tips
If you are voting at your polling place for the first time, you must bring
a Photo ID such as a driver's license, student ID or some other form of US or
PA government issued ID or a US or PA government issued non-photo ID that shows
your address such as a voter identification card, a firearm permit, or a current
utility bill, bank statement, paycheck, or government check. Click
here for a complete list of acceptable forms of ID.
If your registration
is challenged, you are entitled to a provisional ballot which
will be counted if you are later determined to be eligible.
We expect the 2008
League of Women Voters Guide to the General Election to

Courier on October 29, 2008. Portions of it may

It will be on this web
