Voter Education Toolkit
The Department of State (DOS) is working to promote public confidence in elections and educate voters about the elections in 2022. The Ready to Vote initiative aims to inform voters about key information, including:
- How the passage of election reforms in PA will impact elections this year and beyond.
- What voters can expect when they use the more secure voting systems in place in every PA county.
