When polls will be open
The polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Voters who will be casting a ballot for the first time at a polling place will need to show proper identification, such as a driver's license, a passport, a student ID, a current paycheck, according to the Pennsylvania Department of State.
Voters who received a mail ballot may vote in person if they have not returned it to the elections office. However, they will need to take the entire mail ballot packet with them to be voided. They also need to sign a declaration.
Provisional ballots will be given to voters who requested a mail ballot but didn't receive it or forgot to bring their packet to surrender at the polls, according to the Department of State. The county board of elections will determine whether the provisional ballot can be counted.
