Special Elections Q & A Information for Voters

Q. What is the date of the Special Election?
A. Special Elections in all 3 districts now have a confirmed date of Tuesday, February 7th, 2023.

Q. Is the Special Election a Primary?
A. No. The Special Election determines the final result. The winner will take office immediately, and serve the remainder of the current term, which ends November 30, 2024.

Q. Who can vote in a Special Election?
A. All registered voters who live in one of these districts, whether or not they are registered in a political party, can vote in these special elections.

Q. How are the candidates chosen without a Primary?
A. Instead of holding a primary election, the political parties nominate candidates directly according to internal party rules.

Q. Where do I vote in a Special Election?
A. You can vote in person at your usual polling place between 7 am and 8 pm. All precincts in the district will be open for the special election.

Q. Can I use a mail-in ballot for a Special Election?
A. Yes. Mail-in ballots will be available for each special election. You must submit your request for a mail-in ballot by 5:00 pm on January 31st. The online request form is available here: Mail-in Ballot Request

Q. Can I use the same ballot request form used for regularly scheduled elections?
A. Yes. You use the same form. If you submit your ballot request before the Special Election deadline (and live in a district with a special election), you will receive a mail-in ballot for the special election. If you submit the request after the Special Election deadline, you will receive a ballot for the Primary Election.

Q. If I was on the most recent "Annual List" for mail-in ballots in 2022, will I receive a ballot for this Special Election?
A. Yes. When you complete an annual ballot request you will receive a mail-in ballot for any special election in which you are eligible to vote up through the 3rd Monday in February of the following year. February 7, 2023 falls within this window.

Please don't ignore this Special Election. We need all Democrats who live in Districts 32, 34 and 35 of Allegheny County to participate to hold these important seats in the PA House of Representatives.

It goes without saying that if the Repukes should win these seats (if we don't vote) then the Democratic Party loses our hard-earned majority in the House.
