UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. – Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 3. Penn State is encouraging all registered voters to research candidates, know where to vote, and plan to cast your ballot.

• Research the candidates and issues on your ballot. Registered voters are encouraged to learn about the candidates running for office and issues on the ballot. Trusted resources shared at psuvotes.psu.edu can be used to find details on races happening in your area.

• Make and take notes. Voters can bring their phones or notes with them to cast their vote. While researching candidates and issues, write down information to help you navigate your ballot.

• Request a sample ballot. Sample ballots are available in advance. Review what the ballot for your polling place looks like so you know what to expect and can complete it with confidence. You can also ask for help while voting from volunteers working at your polling place.

• Know where to vote. Your registered voting address is tied to a physical polling place. You must cast your vote at that designated polling place. Use the Polling Place Lookup Tool on Penn State Votes or visit your county’s election office to find where you can vote. Students are not eligible to vote at polling locations on their campus unless their registered address is assigned to that location.

• Have the right ID. In Pennsylvania, first-time votes or those voting at a new polling place will need to bring an accepted form of identification.

Additional resources and information about the voting process can be found online with Penn State Votes, the trusted source for nonpartisan information at Penn State.
