Important State Election Year for Pennsylvania


"God commands you to choose for rulers, 
‘just men who will rule 
in the fear of God.’” 

Noah Webster (1758-1843) Father of the Dictionary & American Patriot

November 4, 2014 is a big State Election for Pennsylvania, with incumbent Governor, running for second term in office. We are also electing the composition of the full House, and some Senate members of  the General Assembly. Party leadership candidates and other offices will also be in the ballot, including federal legislative offices.

May 20 Primary Election participation is more important, however, as we vote for the final candidates on the ballot in the General Election. Registration is due 30 days prior, which is April 22, and a copy of the form is downloadable at VotesPA.com.

Register to vote: 

1 - If you have been a citizen for at least a month. 

2 - If you will turn 18 years old on or before election day OR just have not voted before. 

3 - If you have changed your name (e.g., by marriage). 

4 - If you moved to a new election district and have had residency for at least 30 days. 

5 - If your registration has expired (such as from inactive voting). 

6 - If you wish to switch your party affiliation. 
[Note: Only those in the 2 main parties can vote for a candidate during the Primary.]

If you are unable to physically vote on the day of election, you may vote by Absentee Ballot. The deadline for submission of this application is one week before election day. Wait for a ballot to be mailed to you. For all other voting questions in Pennsylvania, go to VotesPAcom. 

Learn what office positions will be voted on and who the candidates are by visiting the Pennsylvania Department of State website.

“A patriot without religion in my estimation is as great a paradox
as an honest Man without the fear of God.
Is it possible that he whom no moral obligations binds,
can have any real good will towards men?
Can he be a patriot who, by an openly vicious conduct,
is undermining the very bonds of society? ...
The Scriptures tell us ‘righteousness exalteth a nation.’”


 Abigail Adams (1744-1818) Wife of John Adams, Mother & Patriot
