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.

How You Can Help

As a partner of DOS, you can help spread the word about the changes via your communications channels, including social media, websites, newsletters, emails, etc. Specifically:

1. Explain how voting is now easier and more accessible for millions of Pennsylvanians. Voters now have more options, including:
   
• Mail-in voting: vote.pa.gov/MailBallot
  
• More time to register to vote: vote.pa.gov/Register
• Online request for mail-in ballots: vote.pa.gov/ApplyMailBallot
2. Highlight the fact that new voting systems are secure, accessible and auditable (vote.pa.gov/Security).
3. Position the PA Department of State as the trusted sources for election information:
• Web: vote.pa.gov
• Twitter: @PAStateDept
  
• Facebook: @PADepartmentofState
