Your Voting Rights

Person’s Forced to Register (PFRs) can Vote

The only PA Citizens who cannot vote are those under 18 years old or incarcerated for a Felony on Election Day, or those who have violated the PA Election Code within 4 years.

Vote by Mail

Many polling places are places someone under parole or probation supervision is prohibited to enter. Voting by mail is the easiest and best way to ensure your voice is heard without putting your freedom at risk.

Your Address

You must be registered to vote by the Pennsylvania deadline at a permanent address (not a halfway house, jail, or prison).
