Security Flaw with PA's On-line Registration May Effect Voters Eligibility to Vote

VotePA, www.votePA.us, has issued an important alert. If you registered to vote online this year, your registration may not be valid. The only way to guarantee that you can vote on April 22 is to check with your county voter registration office. That office must have a signed, paper copy of your registration form by the close of business next Monday, March 24.

You can download a registration form from the state web site (CLICK HERE), but you must get the signed form to your county voter registration office by Monday's deadline.

Send Registration Forms to:

County of Lancaster
Election Board/Registration Commission
150 N. Queen St.
P.O. Box 83480
Lancaster, PA 17608-3480

Call by April 24 to assure that your forms have been received:
(717) 299-8293


A security flaw with the online registration form made it possible to change the names on registration forms that voters already filed. The state Bureau of Commissions, Elections and Legislation has disabled the page where the on-line registration page was located.

It is entirely possible that the problem was discovered before any harm occurred. However, if you used the state's on-line registration page (as opposed to downloading just the paper form), check with your county voter registration office.

But this isn't the only problem. According to a report in the Allentown Morning Call, some voters believe that filling out the online form is enough to register. But it's not. To register, voters must also print the completed form and mail it, or take it, to their voter registration office. Read more... 

When you are registered correctly, you receive a registration card with your party and precinct on it within a few days. If you registered some time ago and have not received your registration card, check with your county voter registration office.


Bottom Line

  • Make sure you are properly registered to vote by close of business next Monday. 

  • Also, make sure you know where your polling place is. Sometimes they change.
