    Pennsylvanians Have Big Voice in Presidential Primary...
    With 188 delegates at stake, the choice that Pennsylvanians make in the presidential race on primary day, April 22, will be significant. In Pennsylvania you must be a registered Democrat to vote in that primary race and have an impact on our national selection. Many registered Independents and others are changing their voter registration to participate. To vote April 22, any new registration or change in political party must be received by March 24. The voter registration forms are available at our public libraries, and our Democratic committee members have a supply. (New registration or change in party use the same form.) You can also download a printable form for mailing directly from the Pennsylvania state website.
