U.S. citizens can vote by mail, absentee ballot or early voting. Each state has different election rules, as well as its own set of rules for mail-in and absentee voting. Check out your state election office website to see if you can vote by mail. For Philadelphia residents, you can also return your mail-in ballot at one of these mail-in drop-off locations. Sample ballots may be viewed by entering your address online.

In Pennsylvania, polls are open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Note: Pennsylvania residents who are voting in person for the first time must bring a photo or non-photo ID. A list of acceptable forms of identification can be found online.

Did you know that you can choose to vote in the state where you attend college instead of your home state? Note that you must be a resident of Pennsylvania and the election district in which you want to vote for at least 30 days before the election.
