County Board of Elections Prepares for 2021 Primary Election with Delco Votes! Website and Resources
Delaware County and the County’s Bureau of Elections are finalizing preparations for the upcoming 2021 Municipal Primary Election scheduled for Tuesday, May 18. Important dates, deadlines and resources for candidates, campaigns, poll workers and voters have been updated on the Delco Votes! website at delcopa.gov/vote.
Residents with questions about the election process—either as a candidate, voter, or poll worker—are encouraged to visit the Delco Votes! website and to check back throughout the spring as new information and materials become available.
Voters who are new to Delaware County or have recently turned 18 will need to register to vote in order to vote in the upcoming election. Voters who have moved, changed their name, or updated their political party affiliation since the last election will need to update their registration. Both processes use the same form, which can be downloaded from Delco Votes!
The deadline for residents to register or to update their registration is Tuesday, May 3. Residents with questions about registration or their status can contact the Voter Registration department by phone at (610) 891-4659 or by email at VoterReg@co.delaware.pa.us.
As a reminder, Pennsylvania has closed primaries. This means that during a primary election, voters who indicate “Democratic” or “Republican” on their Voter Registration Application will only be able to vote for candidates from their registered party, for candidates in nonpartisan contests, and for ballot initiatives.
