Voting in person: what to expect

First-time voters in a precinct should bring a valid photo ID (Pennsylvania driver’s license, passport, student ID) or an approved non-photo document. Returning voters are not required to show ID unless specifically asked. Polling places provide privacy booths, accessible machines, and language assistance.

  • Polls are open 7 AM – 8 PM; stay in line if you arrive before closing.
  • You may bring notes or a sample ballot; campaigning is not allowed inside the polling room.
  • If your eligibility is questioned, request a provisional ballot so election officials can review your status.
  • Need assistance? You may bring someone you trust (not your employer or union representative) to help you complete your ballot.

Tip for mail voters:

If you requested a mail ballot but decide to vote in person, bring your ballot and both envelopes with you. Poll workers will void it so you can vote on the machines.

Helpful contacts

  • Voter hotline

    Call the Philadelphia City Commissioners at 215-686-3460 for election questions or language help.

  • Accessible voting

    Every polling place has ADA-compliant machines. You can also designate someone to assist you—bring them with you or ask for bipartisan assistance on site.

  • Emergency ballots

    If an emergency keeps you from the polls after the mail ballot deadline, you may apply for an emergency absentee ballot up to 8 PM on Election Day at City Hall.
