UPDATE: Tonight’s curfew will begin at 8:30 p.m. to allow residents time to vote and return home after voting.
It’s Election Day across Pennsylvania. In West Philly, voters will cast primary ballots for competitive races for state House of Representatives and Auditor General, select delegates to this year’s party conventions and respond to two ballot questions related to Philadelphia.
Polling places around the city have been consolidated, so find your polling place here if you aim to vote in person. Polls are open until 8 p.m. If you are in line by then, you will be able to vote.
There are a couple of things you can do if you still have your mail-in ballot. You can still mail it in following Gov. Tom Wolf’s emergency declaration extending the mail-in ballot deadline a week to June 9. Or, you can drop off your ballot at one of the several drop-off points around the city, including the Lucien E. Blackwell West Philadelphia Regional Library at 125 S. 52nd St. (52nd and Sansom).
You can hear from three of the four candidates for the state House of Representatives 188th Legislative District (including Cedar Park, Garden Court, Spruce Hill and Walnut Hill neighborhoods) in the video below. This forum was hosted by the Pennsylvania chapter of the National Coalition of 100 Black Women. Incumbent James Roebuck did not attend this forum.
