Monday, March 26 is the last day to register to vote before the April 24 Primary Election.

According to the commonwealth's online voting center, votesPA, to register, voters must be 18 before the day of the elections, and have lived in Pennsylvania and in their election district for 30 days before the next primary.

"New voters can still register to vote in person at the Delaware County Voter Registration Commission or receive forms at municipal buildings and public libraries even though the 'Motor Voter' law of 1995 expanded methods to register to vote in a general, municipal or primary election," Delaware County Councilman David White stated in a press release to the media regarding voter registration.
