Oct. 11 at 5 p.m. is the deadline for voter registration for the Nov. 8 municipal and judicial elections. The mayor of the City of Pittsburgh, judges of the Court of Common Pleas, sheriff, coroner, jury commissioner, and other district officials will be elected.

Persons who are eligible to vote but have not registered before, whose names or addresses have changed, or who wish to change their political party preference should submit voter registration forms to their county board of elections.

Voter registration forms are available at the Allegheny County Board of Elections, driver’s license centers, state liquor stores, libraries, some banks, municipal buildings, post offices, and the Pitt Office of Community and Governmental Relations in 710 Alumni Hall. Forms also may be obtained online through the Pennsylvania Department of State at www.dos.state.pa.us.

Voter registration forms are valid in all Pennsylvania counties.

Applications for absentee ballots for the municipal elections must be received by county boards of elections by 5 p.m. Nov. 1.

To be eligible to register to vote, an individual must be:

• A U.S. citizen for at least one month prior to the next election;

• A resident of Pennsylvania and of a particular election district for at least 30 days before the next election; and

• At least 18 years of age on the day of the next election.

Persons currently registered to vote do not have to reregister unless they have moved or wish to change their name or political party affiliation.
