VOTING IN PERSON? CHECK YOUR POLLING LOCATION

More than 40 polling places have moved since the primary. If you plan to vote in person on November 3, you can check on your polling place location on the countywide list of polling places.

You’ll need your municipality, ward, and district to identify your polling place. If you don't have that information, you can find it at the PA Voter Services Polling Place Locator.

Former polling places are identified on Election Day by signage directing voters to the new location.

Polling places are open from 7:00 am to 8:00 pm. Voters in line at 8:00 pm will be allowed to vote.

JUDGES OF ELECTION, POLL WORKERS NEEDED

5,578 poll workers have signed up to serve Allegheny County voters on November 3. To fully staff the election, 6,500 workers are needed. There is a continuing need for judges of election.

Workers of all kinds are still needed in Baldwin Borough, Collier, Coraopolis, Crafton, Forward, Hampton, Pittsburgh-Southside, Pleasant Hills, Plum, Shaler, and South Fayette. The poll working website offers information about working the polls including training opportunities and hours of service.
